@emptywheel NYT lingo for “no one would talk on the fucking record"
-
-
-
@nickmanes1 Or maybe, "sources who get to be printed but that we don't 100% believe"?
-
@emptywheel shit, that’s almost everyone. But then again, I have trust issues. -
@nickmanes1 But could you have gotten away with that after interviewing, say, the former CoS of local royalty?
-
@emptywheel “is said?” Nah, but that’s very specific NYT lingo. As far as I know they’re the only pub to use it. -
@nickmanes1 You mean only pub that people'd be interested enough what rumors they're hearing? Wars have been started on less, after all.
-
@emptywheel way too many “senior American officials” in that story. That being said, I don’t know how you do that job and get ppl OTR?

@emptywheel actually the surplus characters are "said to be" - still need "is." -
@PaulBaer1 Egads. You're right: 10 extra characters to weasel!
