The thing known as the "news cycle" is very real, although it should be called the "news recycle", because all it does is take an existing story and expand on it for roughly 3-4 days. This is why we get "What we know about the London Bridge attackers" from CNN. In the media, fear sells better than sex.
Giving terrorists a platform in a lede story after they are dead is exactly what they want. On the other hand:
New York Daily News:
Muslims leaders from across Britain have refused to bury the three ISIS-claimed attackers who brought terror to central London and killed seven.It is about time that Islamic leaders recognized they are getting associated with this kind of human garbage. There is hope for Islam.
...One eyewitness said that an attacker shouted “this is for Allah” during the assault, but more than 100 imams and Muslim scholars from across Britain have said that they cannot even bury the terrorists after such actions that claim to be in the name of Islam.
In other news...
Washington Examiner:
A 25-year-old federal contractor is facing charges she leaked a classified National Security Agency document to a news outlet in May.And the released information?
The charges against Reality Leigh Winner came about an hour after the publication of a story based on an NSA document detailing Russian attempts to hack American voting systems in 2016.
President Trump has been pushing Justice to go after leakers inside the federal government, which he has identified as "the big story" when it comes to Russia's involvement in the 2016 presidential election. Winner's arrest could signal the federal government is going to aggressively investigate and prosecute individuals who send classified intelligence to news organizations.
The Intercept:
RUSSIAN MILITARY INTELLIGENCE executed a cyberattack on at least one U.S. voting software supplier and sent spear-phishing emails to more than 100 local election officials just days before last November’s presidential election, according to a highly classified intelligence report obtained by The Intercept.The important takeaway:
The top-secret National Security Agency document, which was provided anonymously to The Intercept and independently authenticated, analyzes intelligence very recently acquired by the agency about a months-long Russian intelligence cyber effort against elements of the U.S. election and voting infrastructure. The report, dated May 5, 2017, is the most detailed U.S. government account of Russian interference in the election that has yet come to light.
The NSA analysis does not draw conclusions about whether the interference had any effect on the election’s outcome and concedes that much remains unknown about the extent of the hackers’ accomplishments.The TRUTH is we know the attempt was made by Russia to hack the election. Whether they had any success is unknown at this time. Sorry Democrats, the election results still stand.
This should be very disappointing to Reality Leigh Winner:
The Daily Caller:
The 25-year-old woman who stole “Top Secret” documents from the National Security Agency and leaked them to The Intercept appears to be a supporter of Bernie Sanders and other progressive icons, such as Bill Maher and Michael Moore.It is easy to question Miss Winner's motives, but there are still questions remaining on this whole matter: Why was this NSA document still classified? Exactly what harm did its release cause?
Reality Leigh Winner’s apparent social media footprint also shows that she is a supporter of other liberal causes, including the Women’s March and the Islamic Society of North America, the Muslim civil rights group.
She also recently referred to President Trump as a “piece of shit” because of his position on the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) protests.
While we still have no evidence that Russia succeeded, it is still important that Americans know what Russia was trying to do.
