40. How can you tell she's been completely honest?

Fri Aug 2, 2013, 10:55 PM

What has she said that makes you sure she's so trustworthy? The way she said it was the FBI on twitter, but said it was the terrorism task force on her blog post? The vivid descriptions she gives of a situation she wasn't witness to?
Or perhaps the way she refused to give any interviews and told the people questioning her to kiss her ass?

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
