    The story:

    https://www.wnyc.org/story/the-fbi-raided-a-notable-journalists-home-rolling-stone-didnt-tell-readers-why/

    As the story noted, Siegel's sources told her "federal agents allegedly found classified information on (ABC News national security producer James Gordon Meek) Meek's laptop during their raid." Siegel reported that Meek left his job at ABC after the raid; a publishing contract with Simon & Schuster evaporated.

    As edited by Rolling Stone Editor-in-Chief Noah Shachtman, however, the article omitted a key fact that Siegel initially intended to include: Siegel had learned from her sources that Meek had been raided as part of a federal investigation into images of child sex abuse, something not publicly revealed until last month.

    Why did Rolling Stone suggest Meek was targeted for his coverage of national security, rather than something unrelated to his journalism?

    Neither Siegel nor Shachtman would comment for this story. This article is based on a review of some contemporaneous communications and also interviews with 10 people with knowledge of incidents described here, including several individuals at Rolling Stone, as well as people at ABC and federal law enforcement agencies.

      It's almost like they have an agenda:

        Hey I hadn't heard of the movie, now I did. And I'd like to watch it, looks like a good thriller. People underestimated Caviezel in Passion of the Christ, too.

            Yeah, that's who I want to hear from. Someone who has a vested interest in human trafficking.

              He laments the marginalization of pedophiles, while counting on his political tribe to marginalize a mainstream movie by connecting dots from it to QAnon. And it's working.

              This is along the same lines as someone having been convicted for murder as a young adult, being more socially acceptable going forward, than someone who said something racist as a young adult. This is what culturally programmed morality looks like, and the programmed humans aren't wired to see the absurdity of it.

              Education is extremely important.

                        PJW is biased. IMO biased people should never be listened to about anything, ever. That's how you become smart. With a principled stand against biased people and the information they provide.

                        The only acceptable bias, is against bias. Period.

                            There was not a theater within 30 minutes showing the movie last week. This week it’s come to a couple of local theaters, but it’s weird as most are only offering 1-2 showings a day and during the day… The same theaters are offering 4 showings of Indiana Jones while Sound of Freedom is bringing in 4-5 times the daily domestic box office.
