Brave Journalist writes a fantastic piece of journalism

[bkgirl]

After all the recent discussion about standards in journalism, I have to highlight the work of a very brave journalist who frankly has reported an absolutely massive story which is going to run and run....please have a read, it has shocked and terrified me to the core. I hope she knows her phone/movements are guaranteed hacked/monitored.

She's not a journalist, she's a feminist author - a very well known one.

I was shown this link supposedly debunking it but I haven't yet read either carefully enough to make a judgement on which has more truth behind it.

I know which version of events I believe - NW is an attention seeking loon

Goodness, I must read in to this more. She doesn't seem very popular! I think the idea behind Occupy is good (to challenge the powerful payers who seem to control impoverish the world whilst making themselves very rich). I thought the Occupy people were set upon in a heavy handed fashion eg the old lady/pepper spray, I guess it will be difficult to prove and I don't know if that Washington Blog is reputable. There seems quite a lot of media spin against them here, I am surprised since just about everyone I know are disgusted that we seem to be paying for the mistakes of the bankers and to make certain bankers/city folk very wealthy. As for the state, where I am from we saw the state being very corrupt and know what dirty tricks are so it doesn't seem so strange/far fetched.

Who knows? But Naomi Wolf sure doesn't.

Jeez found this too...

(ah well it's a change from reading/planning amended santa letters/lists)

Bejesus, don't hold back there. LOL

dirty tricks and big money/power are always to be found in the same bed. BK girl has been reading too much enid blyton and maggie thatcher Big business is as romantic as a ferret in a rabbit hutch.

He he, I did rather love old Enid - you got me there! Oooh but I have no time for Thatcher and certainly no time for big business (we had a small shoppe). I detest big business.

Bkgirl. OK, point taken/I am more shaken (than stirred.

I have look NW up she is an american operator. That is why I knew nuffink about her.

She cant have more attittude than that kelly rowland judge on sex-factor.
My word, she would wear me out in a fortnight. Byeeeee, kettles boiling. 2 lumps darling.

Fantastic but utterly terrifying article. Well worth reading
