Confirmed, Russian hackers ARE NOT the source behind the recent WikiLeaks

"Stringers"? Typo?
I don't see how this indicates any manipulation by "strangers" (or stringers). The process of putting together news segments probably does not include exhaustive searches of past segments that might include pictures of the same child in the hands of different agencies...
IOW, I see it as an outgrowth of the very nature of MSM/soundbyte-ism.

It's far more an issue about the reporting of the situation there than of the organization doing the reporting.

Not sure how you are separating the two, unless you're saying the same thing that I am.

I'm saying reports from stringers in areas like the Middle East are unreliable regardless of who is doing the reporting.

And "stringers" isn't a typo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stringer_(journalism)

Reports from stringers in the Middle East are unreliable.

Therefore we cannot know what is really happening.

Well, let's check. Do you think Assad have used chemical weapons?

Read my post in its entirety.

Any ideas you might glean from reading only a part of it have only a coincidental relationship to my point.

Any questions you have that don't concern it's entire content are irrelevant.

Quoting only a part of it is pointless.

Answer the test question!

The sacking of Russian officials seems to have backfired as Russia will not retaliate.
Putin didn't swallow the hook despite advice he received from his own advisers for to do a tit-for-tat.

Obama has to provide concrete proof apart from someone told me this etc.

The Democrats lost the election and should get over its sour grapes and move on to prepare for the next election.

Too bad the Russians have taken the lead in what is hoped to be a ceasefire that will hold in Syria. The US should have been involved but its too busy with Putin-gate.

Putin should be careful not getting pissed off and not retaliating, it might piss off current administration even more.

I think at this point Putin is just trolling Obama administration.

How do you know these photos were taken from a stringer in the first place? The images are cropped so that there are no identifying marks, and they do not come from anything close to a primary source where that information can be determined. It is a fucking meme with an agenda, and you are swallowing it whole because it fits your preconceived notions.

So it's even worse? Western media publish pictures and data from sources totally unknown to them?

Did the hackers release information that was supposed to be secret?
Or did they release lies?

Depends how much the democrats lie in their own emails.

I think he's waiting for Trump so he doesn't see the need for tit for tat in just a few days. I'm sure with the amount of Russians and others doing this, it pretty much a certainty that trolling and hacking attempts are nonstop, from both sides and every other location in the globe.

Are you under the impression that repoman is a western media outlet?
