Democracy Now!'s Barrett Brown Puff Piece Ignores Hacker's Threats Against the FBI

I watched this Democracy Now! segment last night, but the headline at the video alone indicates how Amy Goodman and crew ignored Barrett Brown's threats against FBI Agent Robert Smith.

You gotta love it, "Jailed for Sharing a Web Link? Prosecution of Barrett Brown Could Set Chilling Precedent."



And here's the title of the entire 20-minute segment, "Jailed Reporter Barrett Brown Faces 105 Years For Reporting on Hacked Private Intelligence Firms," available here and here.

And these people consider themselves real journalists? Shoot, they're almost right up there with KTVU San Francisco.

Seriously, Robert Stacy McCain did the key reporting on Barrett Brown's epic personal self-destruction. See, "‘Anonymous’ Spokesman Barrett Brown Arrested After Bizarre Video Meltdown," and "‘The Kook Who Knew Too Much’: Heroic Fantasy, Paranoia and Barrett Brown." Check the "Barrett Brown" search results as well. The FBI came down hard on him at precisely the time he posted a YouTube video making threats against Agent Smith. It's a little more complicated than "sharing a web link," no?

The fact is, the left's "reality-based community" lives in an un-reality make-believe world of fantasy and lies. The extreme romanticism surrounding the NSA surveillance scandal only explains part of this. Simply, anything that fits the leftist narrative will be pumped up unceasingly, with no corroboration of the facts. Confirmed low-level hacker and all-around idiot ass-wipe Barrett Brown gets pumped up there along with the likes of Daniel Ellsberg for really bringing it to the man! 

The lulz. Stop. They hurt.
