Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

      I obviously don't agree with all of @emptywheel's recent work (and, as she makes clear in this profile, she doesn't agree with all of mine!), but she's long been one of the embodiments of what independent journalism at its best can do & why it's so vitalhttps://www.cjr.org/tow_center/emptywheels-marcy-wheeler-knows-more-than-she-tells-but-she-tells-a-lot.php …

      She outed a journalistic source. Who and why is a secret, of course. Can't trust her. https://www.emptywheel.net/2018/07/03/putting-a-face-mine-to-the-risks-posed-by-gop-games-on-mueller-investigation/ …

      I'm not personally in the RU Fever crowd, but outing a lying source is ok with me. If all journalists outed sources who lied to manipulate them, I think we'd be a lot better off.

      Replying to @ubiqunity @dkmich and

      Publically outing an unreliable source is perfectly acceptable. But privately reporting them to the FBI is a horse of a quite unprincipled and vindictive color.

      Doesn't it depend on the reason? Not saying there was a good one here, but if you knew a source [insert horrible crime here], wouldn't it be warranted?

      Replying to @ubiqunity @dkmich and

      According to her own blog post, Marcy reported him for a number of things she "believed" that he did, but nothing more "concrete" than that the source lied to her. And last time I checked, lying to a journalist isn't a crime. We only have her word. I don't think it's good enough.

      I'm addressing the principle and your statements about it, not this particular situation. I'm not privy to what occurred in emptywheel's case, and I'm not sure your representation is 100% accurate. I think she'd call him a liar in public rather than snitch if no crime, but ?...

      That representation is 100% inaccurate.
