They don’t want too many folks looking at your other work.

You will never be acknowledged as a peer by those hacks. Wear it like a badge of honor.

Actually, Klaus, there is a real *tort* being done to Ken here. It is called plagiarism and those folks should have their noses run into their poop, at the very least.

If no one says anything, these creeps can just make a fortune by subscribing to a few blogs and copying someone else's work.

Control "C" then control "V" is too easy to do.

Western legacy media has reached late-Soviet era Pravda levels of relevance and credibility.

Bob Fett's avatar

We should be honest and admit it was always at that level -- it's just that in the past decade or two we've started to develop more robust alternatives.

Keep up the good work, Ken. The defenders of the status quo are losing ground daily, as alternative media expands.

JennyStokes's avatar

I agree wholeheartedly and yes they are 'losing ground' which makes them more dangerous?

Man that's so embarrassing for them. Keep doing your thing, Ken. Happy subscriber here.

We always knew that these networks were inhabited by extremely small minded people

"Small minded" means no morality.

Thank you Ken for your responsible journalism. The old media machine is breaking down and has become untrustworthy, incapable of true investigative journalism.

It’s on we the people and all the independent journalists and reporters to now hold the line for the continued existence of the 4th Estate. Hold Fast 🇺🇸

"Legacy media’s dereliction is by design"

Wait, NBC News isn’t a blog?

Get ‘em big dog, their validation ain’t worth shit anyway. We know where to find the facts.

Bill Bates's avatar

We know where real journalism and reporting is coming from. It’s not from the MSM, that is compromised or complicit.

Ken, everyone knows you, Turks, BP, Drop Site and the like are the new “cool kids” in town.

The legacy media is like the girl who was hot in high school, but you see her 20 years later and she’s not hot anymore. But she’s still trying to be and it’s just sad, cause she’ll never be hot again and she knows it. Everyone knows it. That’s NBC News and legacy media.

Von Verstehen Nothing's avatar

all that means there’s a coordinated effort to intimidate and silence you because reporting facts is a threat.

NSPM-7 is a Stalinist playbook but we live in a digital reality disallowing them to have a full control. Long live cached pages!

To my mind (from France) watching the US in the throes of disintigrating Colonialism it is going to get much worse before it gets better. I suggest that many Journalists on alternative media keep records/start up sites like GoFundMe etc. There is going to come a time when we NEED to support our Journalists that speak the truth.

I don't know if you all know what is happening here in Europe: Jacques Baud and 76 others have had their Bank Accounts frozen with NO recourse to Law.

Scott Ritter again has had his Bank Account frozen, unlike Europe he will get his money back.

BE vigilant and if our best reporters are shut down we have to get out on the streets.

You know, Ken, when I was a junior high then high school kid writing essays as so many assignments in France, I had to cite my sources. Using someone else's work without giving due credit is plagiarism.

Isn't there a legal recourse for plagiarism?

The legal action is Copyright infringement lawsuits, fines...

Amrita B's avatar

As a retired librarian, this also was my thought... To take other people's work without crediting them is plagiarism!

Ken, how better to know that you're doing it right! Keep doing it. We're behind you!
