Did the media get punked again (on internet search tip off)? [View all] TriplD Aug 2013 OP

Are you saying the Suffolk Police punked the media by releasing a false statement? pnwmom Aug 2013 #1

I don't know what explains the discrepancy. TriplD Aug 2013 #2

Maybe they don't post all their releases. Or maybe someone slipped up. I think either is much pnwmom Aug 2013 #3

I just don't have that much faith in the media or police TriplD Aug 2013 #6

"Suffolk County police said" sounds like their PR officer gave a verbal statement to a reporter. MADem Aug 2013 #4

A screenshot of the release is posted at techcrunch.com: pinboy3niner Aug 2013 #7

Their IT guy is a part timer...and hasn't pushed the button to post it yet? MADem Aug 2013 #34

The link in the op has a press release TriplD Aug 2013 #9

Then why aren't the PD or Catalano saying it's not real? n/t pnwmom Aug 2013 #10

Give the Suffolk PD a call and ask them to send you the release, that will clear this up! nt MADem Aug 2013 #36

No. TechCruch's soucing of their story appeared sketchy, but cthulu2016 Aug 2013 #5

Oh look. A simple explanation of the whole thing ^^^ cthulu2016 Aug 2013 #13

Maybe she was threatened with espionage charges for shining light on the operation? TriplD Aug 2013 #14

Thanks! n/t pnwmom Aug 2013 #12

If Breitbart can punk the media with doctored tapes TriplD Aug 2013 #16

It's not a "blogger"; it's a technology news website owned by AOL. nt pinboy3niner Aug 2013 #38

Awww, darn, you've blown another fine conspiracy theory all to bits! nt MADem Aug 2013 #35

you think they put out a press release everytime they talk to someone? arely staircase Aug 2013 #15

It's a national story - if they are putting them out for car accidents TriplD Aug 2013 #18

they did put one out about this arely staircase Aug 2013 #19

It's not on their website TriplD Aug 2013 #22

so they haven't updated their website arely staircase Aug 2013 #23

My crystal ball says you are about to get a techcrunch link and some insults cthulu2016 Aug 2013 #24

The link posted is the link cited in techcrunch n/t TriplD Aug 2013 #29

I meant a link to techcrunch... cthulu2016 Aug 2013 #30

How do you know ALL their press releases are on the site? DevonRex Aug 2013 #31

So maybe there was a cover up? This whole story is pretty bizarre. quinnox Aug 2013 #17

See #5. It's really pretty straightforward cthulu2016 Aug 2013 #25

I agree with you that there are still some unanswered questions... TeeYiYi Aug 2013 #26

exactly, that is the part that jumps out at me too quinnox Aug 2013 #32

she embellished the story arely staircase Aug 2013 #37

If by completely honest you mean mythology Aug 2013 #33

Aww come on... TeeYiYi Aug 2013 #39

She didn't tweet it as it was happening because she wasn't there sweetloukillbot Aug 2013 #41

She tweeted it in very nearly real time as it was being relayed to her by her husband... TeeYiYi Aug 2013 #42

Big fucking difference between firsthand and second hand sweetloukillbot Aug 2013 #43

Not when it's your husband that it's happening to. TeeYiYi Aug 2013 #44

What, by actually being a journalist and calling the police to find out what happened? sweetloukillbot Aug 2013 #45

Yeah, what ARE you doing up on a Saturday morning?.... TeeYiYi Aug 2013 #46

She wasn't posting from a position of journalistic integrity... TeeYiYi Aug 2013 #47

How can you tell she's been completely honest? sweetloukillbot Aug 2013 #40

Wow I think you're a day late... cherokeeprogressive Aug 2013 #28
