The Unravelling of Eli Lake

This article (if you can even call it that, it’s more like a poorly written book report from someone who never bothered to read the book, and has only a vague idea what the synopsis is), came across my radar by way of a friend and it pains me to admit it, but it’s the very reason I invited him to share his posts on the Facebook page. The article in question, is here.

He’ll get no further mention from me, but this bozo didn’t even bother to spell unravelling right. Try a spell check next time, maybe?

I take issue with this article for two very different reasons. Firstly, all of his statements are personal opinion, not fact. Any journalistic credentials he has should be revoked immediately for forcing us to navigate this tired narrative he’s passing off as intelligent thought.

Secondly, he’s assuming that he knows who Assange’s sources are, by way of the US media, who he insist would never lie to us. Right.

As far as I’m concerned, him and his editor are both idiots.

But I’ll give Bloomberg as a whole, a pass for this elegantly worded foot note: “This column does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the editorial board or Bloomberg LP and its owners.”
