Quote

On Tuesday, the Internet Archive published a blog post stating that they saw no evidence that supported Reid’s claims that her blog was hacked. Hours after that post went up, Reid’s cyber-security expert, Jonathan Nichols, released a statement

don't, just

Quote

Five months ago, we found evidence Joy Reid’s now-defunct blog, The Reid Report, was breached after a review of suspicious activity.

We discovered that login information used to access the blog was available on the Dark Web and that fraudulent entries – featuring offensive statements – were entered with suspicious formatting and time stamps. The posts included hate speech targeting marginalized communities and Ms. Reid has been explicit in condemning them.

Some of the posts in question were made while Ms. Reid was on the radio hosting her show. Text and visual styling was inconsistent with her original entries.

In December, shortly after the review, Ms. Reid’s attorney wrote to archive.org and Blogger.com to advise them that the blog had been compromised, and that the pages appearing in the Wayback Machine archive included fraudulent posts.

The letters detail the evidence that many of the blog posts were made up, including the times posted (times when Ms. Reid hosted her radio show), unusual structure and anomalies within the posts and ghosting around images.

We also asked Blogger.com for forensic data such as time stamps, IP addresses, and User-Agent data which would help us to learn more about the posts and where the fraudulent poster might be located. Blogger.com told us the data was not available.

At no time has Ms. Reid claimed that the Wayback Machine was hacked, though early in our investigation, we were made aware of a breach at archive.org which may have correlated with the fraudulent blog posts we observed on their website. We simply wanted to ascertain whether that breach was related to the compromising of Ms. Reid’s blog.

Once our team determined that the two intrusions were unrelated, we merely attempted to have the fraudulent posts removed from archive.org. They refused this request.

However, we have significant evidence indicating that not only was Ms. Reid’s old blog compromised, some of the recently circulated posts were not even on the site at any time, suggesting that these instances may be the result of screenshot manipulation with the intent to tarnish Ms. Reid’s character. Oddly, there were no responses in the comments section of the entries, despite the inflammatory nature of the posts. If those posts were real, they would have undoubtedly elicited responses from Ms. Reid’s base. There was also no contemporaneous verification or memory from Ms. Reid’s peers or individuals she regularly debated online.

As a result we are continuing our own investigation and cooperating with federal law enforcement in their attempt to identify the source of this activity.

My own theory is that one of those "other entities" the Wayback machine people discussed was actually the bad actor who had been inside her original blogger.com site all along, and was feeding material through it to her WordPress blog (which was set up to do that for herself but she stopped using it, but never disconnected the pass-thru). She never considered that perhaps she had an unwelcome editor in her blog until I suggested it.

We may never know the full story, or catch this culprit. But I was there. These words were as new to Joy as they were to everyone else. The person who published these things has been trolling Joy for years. I strongly suspect he's known they were there all along, and was just playing them out over time to inflict maximum damage.

This was just a setup from one of her many enemies, most of whom have very good reasons to fear her powerful voice.

The NFL apparently had a confidential behind closed doors meeting about Donald Trump and kneeling, so naturally, here are some quotes:

Quote

The New England Patriots owner Robert K. Kraft pointed to another “elephant in the room.”

“This kneeling,” he said.

“The problem we have is, we have a president who will use that as fodder to do his mission that I don’t feel is in the best interests of America,” said Kraft, who is a longtime supporter of Mr. Trump’s. “It’s divisive and it’s horrible.”

Quote

Reid, who attended the meeting wearing a Kaepernick T-shirt over his dress shirt and tie, said that his former teammate was being blackballed.

“I feel like he was hung out to dry,” Reid said of Kaepernick. “Everyone in here is talking about how much they support us.” The room fell quiet. “Nobody stepped up and said we support Colin’s right to do this. We all let him become Public Enemy No. 1 in this country, and he still doesn’t have a job.”

And for good measure, the always enjoyable Bob - inmates running the prison - McNair:

Quote

The Houston Texans owner Bob McNair was more direct. He urged the players to tell their colleagues to, essentially, knock off the kneeling. “You fellas need to ask your compadres, fellas, stop that other business, let’s go out and do something that really produces positive results, and we’ll help you.”

His Excellency: A title of respect for males used when referring to heads of state, heads of government, governors, ambassadors, certain ecclesiastics, royalty, and others holding equivalent rank.

On a quick Google search I found a bunch of instances where America was referring to past French presidents and ambassadors with similar titles. Seems fairly common.

Read it closely

She averages 1.3M for the QUARTER, but also was the one on the air during the kids marching about guns stuff that had a about the same amount of viewers, which is the biggest rating MSNBC has done in 13 years in that timeslot. She doesn't get 1M per show except for that exceptional rare event where she was put on the air outside of her normal timeslot to do special coverage.

She's averaging over a million this month. I'm thinking the 200k figure was probably referring to the 18-49 demographic, which is often cited before overall ratings.

I think it's diplomatic protocol to call any foreign head of state "his/her excellency." Trump would get that in France. Domestically, he'd be "the honorable" which, y'know, ha ha ha.

Again, the best part of this whole thing is it's the most perfect example of how quickly the alt-right will abandon their "principles" the second one of the 'hollywood elite' that they've spent years shitting on gives them any attention. Kanye West is a black dude who was so famous that he drunkenly gave Taylor Swift her whole career, who randomly showed up to Occupy Wall Street, and who's first single of his second to last album was literally about how privatized prison is modern slavery. But he tweets something about the thought police or whatever once, and he's this genius free thinker who they've always loved. It's exactly as pathetic as one would expect

seagrams hotsauce · « **Reply #17398 on:** April 25, 2018, 09:32:04 PM »

And let's be real, the real concern we should have about this is wether or not Kanye can actually carry four albums on his back and get them all out in time. I don't really care about the Cudi, Teyana or Pusha albums cuz they're all kinda washed or boring, so I hope he keeps the real heat for his own album. TLOP was interesting but kind of a mess and structurally probably his weakest, so hopefully this one is a little more cohesive
