News Media Clueless On Phones

By AJStrata on Leak Investigations
The Strata-Sphere

Mac Ranger posted on this post by ABC reporters who are finally getting the hint that leaking national security information to terrorists (which is where it goes when the media exposes it) will end. What was so funny was the igorance of these people:


<<< A senior federal law enforcement official tells ABC News the government is tracking the phone numbers we (Brian Ross and Richard Esposito) call in an effort to root out confidential sources.

“It’s time for you to get some new cell phones, quick,” the source told us in an in-person conversation.

ABC News does not know how the government determined who we are calling, or whether our phone records were provided to the government as part of the recently-disclosed NSA collection of domestic phone calls. >>>

Emphasis mine. Have these two id-juts ever seen a phone bill? You know, the government can request a log of all calls to and from their phones. I mean, Duh!, they are their phones. On a serious note, the article does confirm the investigation into leaks continues apace:

<<< Other sources have told us that phone calls and contacts by reporters for ABC News, along with the New York Times and the Washington Post, are being examined as part of a widespread CIA leak investigation.

One former official was asked to sign a document stating he was not a confidential source for New York Times reporter James Risen. >>>


If people cannot act responsibly with the press passes they have been given, the government is not required to trust them, or tal to them. Spilling secrets to our enemies should be career ending, and the market place is taking care of that.
