Say about the Weiner 15yo girl "hoax?" I just don't see her as somebody who will acknowledge her mistakes.

you make a good point jesskirablue42 May 2017 #1

What ever she is tazkcmo May 2017 #2

She absolutely presents herself as a journalist. That's why people are mad. Gravitycollapse May 2017 #3

Lazy opportunistic...wow! And you can say this because.... mhw May 2017 #7

It is not my job to make you feel better about your personal choices. Gravitycollapse May 2017 #9

We don't refer to her as a journalist. You do. mhw May 2017 #16

She's dangerous to our cause. I will speak freely against her whenever I wish. Gravitycollapse May 2017 #18

Hmm.. Dangerous to what cause! mhw May 2017 #21

The Democratic, progressive, leftist cause. Gravitycollapse May 2017 #25

Appreciate including "democratic". mhw May 2017 #30

Do we know that? HopeAgain May 2017 #55

How is she dangerous to our cause? tazkcmo May 2017 #72

How so? tazkcmo May 2017 #71

They do spend a lot of time singling out 1 blogger out of the thousands online. mhw May 2017 #5

+1 Even if those here don't believe her, they SHOULD be happy that she's getting under the skin OnDoutside May 2017 #12

Whatever she is -- madamesilverspurs May 2017 #8

I don't follow your argument. Gravitycollapse May 2017 #10

You realize there are international laws and treaties governing combat, right? Gravitycollapse May 2017 #15

I'm not on your side. roamer65 May 2017 #26

That's probably for the best since you possess no morals. Gravitycollapse May 2017 #27

Ok. Whatever. roamer65 May 2017 #29

So, she gets a tip and puts it out there - I say good for her womanofthehills May 2017 #17

If you read my original post, you would see that I agree she has connections. Gravitycollapse May 2017 #19

I see nothing wrong with her putting info out there and letting others verify it womanofthehills May 2017 #22

Donald Trump has 30 million followers. Gravitycollapse May 2017 #23

True. Not bad for 1 online blogger on a mission to out Trump. mhw May 2017 #24

I will debase myself by stooping to the level of farce just to score a political win. NBachers May 2017 #58

I notice she has as many tweets bickering with JNelson6563 May 2017 #28

A huuuuge shoe must be about to drop..otherwise no need to keep abusing this long deceased equine MedusaX May 2017 #31

I read Louise Mensch and Claude Taylor several times a day but underthematrix May 2017 #32

I think they probably receive the info at the same time as MSM outlets. Gravitycollapse May 2017 #33

Outlets like NYT and WaPo have immense resources compared to a single blogger. GliderGuider May 2017 #34

That pretty much demonstrates the value of outlets like NYT over someone like Mensch. Gravitycollapse May 2017 #35

both are valuable. Like Pathfinder bombers in WWII GliderGuider May 2017 #36

Like I said, I doubt she gets the info before other media outlets. Gravitycollapse May 2017 #39

And I think she does. But in truth, neither of us knows. GliderGuider May 2017 #43

We should doubt a source until it proves reliable. Gravitycollapse May 2017 #46

Q: How come you're not after Claude? nt GliderGuider May 2017 #48

I know nothing about Claude. Gravitycollapse May 2017 #49

You should slag him off as well. You'd look less misogynistic. nt GliderGuider May 2017 #51

From the looks of his Twitter, he seems equally dubious. Gravitycollapse May 2017 #52

Thatr's What I'd Like To Know Me. May 2017 #57

I think her attitude rubs some people the wrong way GliderGuider May 2017 #62

But It's Not Just Claude Me. May 2017 #73

I agree with your observation that they're probably getting the info at the same time underthematrix May 2017 #38

How are you going to verify questionable claims? Gravitycollapse May 2017 #40

She says what people want to hear. Then, some on the Left use it as truth! icymist May 2017 #37

Doesn't she mainly use Twitter? If so, fitting news R B Garr May 2017 #41

She has her own blog. Gravitycollapse May 2017 #42

I'll link to it so you can make up your own mind. GliderGuider May 2017 #44

Oh, okay, that's the blog that has been questioned R B Garr May 2017 #61

Has she ever admitted she was wrong? alwaysinflux May 2017 #45

Yes, she admitted to that error, in detail. GliderGuider May 2017 #47

Thank you! alwaysinflux May 2017 #50

Louise has published four corrections to her stories: GliderGuider May 2017 #56

She's a lot more reliable then a lot of people who posit stuff here on DU Ellipsis May 2017 #53

She posted a story about the aftermath of the Comey firing... Eyeball_Kid May 2017 #59

I am aware of the story. Ellipsis May 2017 #60

But it hasn't been shown to be wrong. So the worst we can say is it's unverified. GliderGuider May 2017 #63

Not one Mensch critic on DU is willing to point out when they scooped the MSM. L. Coyote May 2017 #65

Mensch's track record is extremely good. GliderGuider May 2017 #66

It is the information war at work, with intentional and unwitting warriors. L. Coyote May 2017 #68

Don't listen to her, then. 6000eliot May 2017 #54

I don't mind if her opponents keep posting. GliderGuider May 2017 #64

The other point to this is that pro journos have the resources justiceischeap May 2017 #67
