HEADS UP: the American Spectator link bragging about disrupting OWS in DC no longer works.

This was the link with the Spectator dickhead bragging about being an OWC mole. It is now 'Error 404.'

Please tell me someone got a screen shot.

Here's a screengrab of the original article (taken from a post by kpete):

6. Thanks. I was wondering about that. (edit)

Many online sites do "housecleaning" and rearrange their articles. But I hadn't read every word in the original so I wasn't sure if the moved one was exactly the same.

eta: This kind of thing always makes me wonder about downloading books. How difficult would it be to change a word here and there and make minor changes that have major impact? Sorry. My tinfoil hat is old; perhaps it's shorting out.

10. It's possible. I noticed in the article he added the word "may"
talking about he *may* have been the only protester who made it past the guards further into the museum.

In the original article he said he was the only one who made it in.

11. I've caught online news orgs doing much the same. No screencaps, unfortunately.
I've seen titles changed with no "update" mentioned. I've seen paragraphs completely re-written. People who post in LBN have had the original article title change from the moment they posted to the time someone read their link. Sometimes I think it's just real-time editing going on; other times...my tinfoil squeaks. :)

comparison work.

It seems our valiant journalist, has changed the fact that he joined in to mock and undermine to getting a story.

He's a real piece of work. Afraid he and his rag are too late with the editing.

18. This is not the original version, but the 'revised ' version.
The article was changed to remove references to him being a provocateur. He is now there for Journalistic purposes.

It would be great if someone recorded that meeting to see what kind of ideas he was proposing.
