As Twitchy reported recently, the New York Times’ “The Daily” recently reviewed the newspaper’s policy on dealing with hacked materials and leaks. Reporters were to use the EMAIL method to ascertain the situation, with EMAIL standing for evidence, motive, activity, intent, and labels. They certainly didn’t follow those guidelines when chasing down the Russian collusion scandal, and they also apparently have no problem with anonymous sources — nor does any other mainstream outlet.
The thing about “Anonymous” — the “high-level’ White House official who wrote an op-ed as well as a book called “The Warning” — is that people took him so seriously … so much so that HuffPost even floated the theory that the op-ed might have been written by Vice President Mike Pence:
People are speculating the word "lodestar" may be proof that Mike Pence wrote the scathing New York Times op-ed against Trump. https://t.co/b5YlZNfhIz

If you were reading Twitchy last night or watching Tucker Carlson (or both), you know that former Hunter Biden associate Tony Bobulinski came forward for an hour with emails, audio, documents, and texts all fingering Joe Biden has having a part in his son’s business dealings in China. Bobulinski dropped some serious bombshells and wrapped up by saying he had gotten a team of former Navy SEALS to guard his family because of death threats. Bobulinski gets death threats, while Taylor gets a gig as a CNN contributor.
Speaking of CNN, they spent plenty of time Wednesday talking about the “Anonymous” story while ignoring the other one that was anything but anonymous.
After giving zero minutes to covering last night’s explosive Bobulinski interview, CNN just spent 13 minutes & 39 seconds uninterrupted on the minor, in-house story that their contributor Miles Taylor was the WH ‘Anonymous’ author of a 2018 New York Times Op-Ed on the admin. ? pic.twitter.com/cx5FzbOlZX

… a 2018 New York Times op-ed.
We're at ten and a half straight minutes on CNN covering Miles Taylor like it's a game-change. I doubt they've covered Tony Bobulinski for more than ten minutes.
— Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) October 28, 2020
CNN spent the last 13 minutes and 39 seconds uninterrupted talking about their colleague Miles Taylor revealing himself to have been Anonymous.
13:39 or 819 seconds.
That's 13:39 (or 819 seconds) more than they've given #Tucker's interview last night with Tony Bobulinski.
— Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) October 28, 2020
That was in the 3:00 p.m. Eastern hour.
In the next hour, Jake Tapper had another two minutes and 16 seconds/136 seconds on Taylor.
Again, that's 2:16 (or 136 seconds) more than they've given #Tucker's interview last night with Tony Bobulinski.
— Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) October 28, 2020
So we're up to CNN having spent 15 minutes and 55 seconds on their CNN colleague coming out as Anonymous, but zero seconds on #Tucker's interview with Tony Bobulinski.

Former DHS chief of staff @MilesTaylorUSA is the author of the NYT oped and book by “Anonymous” — more on CNN coming up

Are you looking into Tony Bobulinski’s verified claims? Are you a journalist?
— Honey?????? (@jennifermcfarl4) October 28, 2020
So Miles Taylor merits your attention, but Tony Bobulinski does not?
— Paul Oliu (@PMOliu) October 28, 2020
Jake, serious question: what would you have said about Tony Bobulinski’s allegations if he had made them anonymously?
— Stephe96 (@Stephe96) October 28, 2020
Remember that Tony Bobulinski:
1) Did not big talk about his patriotism but actually served his country; and
2) Was never anonymous; and
3) Has less ridiculous hair; and
4) Has something to say that matters; and
5) Is being ignored by our garbage press because of that.

Tony Bobulinski, say his name. He didn’t testify in a basement, didn’t submit an oped anonymously. He busted out his big brass balls and blew the whistle on live TV and then followed up with an interview on Fox. He is a patriot, not the piss ant you covered for 12 minutes.

If you are a member of the media and you're more interested in writing about Miles Taylor than Tony Bobulinski you should consider a new career.
— William J. Smith (@WilliamJSmithJr) October 28, 2020
#TonyBobulinski isn't anonymous.
— bless your heart ? (@NewYearsDani) October 28, 2020
If you think Miles Taylor is important but Tony #Bobulinski isn't, not only don't you give a fuck about America, you don't care about your family, their liberty, their well being or their safety.
It is grotesque how many people are willing to turn a blind eye to real corruption.
— BonkPolitics (@BonkPolitics) October 28, 2020
I see Twitter has no problem letting Miles Taylor trend today. Interesting that they actively suppressed Tony Bobulinski from trending last night even though it was a far bigger and impactful story.
Don’t worry though, Jack says he’s ready to earn our trust.
— Chief Justice Robert’s Gavel (@ChiefGavel) October 28, 2020
Proof our MSM is broken:
You will hear more about <checks notes> Miles Taylor than you will Tony Bobulinski
— JOE-verthinking™ ? (@josephkoss) October 28, 2020
CNN and MSNBC have now spent more time covering Miles Taylor than they have covering the credible allegations that Tony Bobulinski has made against Joe Biden.
Journalism in America is DEAD. pic.twitter.com/cSUlHmec4i
— Francis Brennan (@FrancisBrennan) October 28, 2020
And Gosh, Miles Taylor is at the top of the trends and will be on every news station all day and night, as Tony Bobulinski and his credible, damaging accusations against Joe Biden and his crime family continue to be ignored.
— Carmine Sabia (@CarmineSabia) October 28, 2020
I will take Tony Bobulinski over Anonymous Nobody Miles Taylor any day of the week.

Miles Taylor
– Donated to Obama

– Works at CNN nowTony Bobulinski
– Only donated to Dems
– Joe Biden met with him and Bidens hired him to be CEO of a company they formed
– Has evidence & tapesGuess which 1 media reports more on?
— Robby Starbuck (@robbystarbuck) October 28, 2020
Enough about Miles Taylor, he’s literally a nobody. Focus on Tony Bobulinski and why his evidence of Biden family corruption isn’t the #1 story in the country right now. Pressure every single journalist you know of to cover his story and show their audience his evidence.
— Robby Starbuck (@robbystarbuck) October 28, 2020
Miles Taylor is a trending Twitter topic.
Tony Bobulinski is not.
The media is garbage and it is your enemy.
— Kurt Schlichter (@KurtSchlichter) October 28, 2020
With 15.7k tweets, Miles Taylor was trending #2 on Twitter within minutes.
CNN, MSDNC, WaPo, NYT, etc are all covering and racing to send out alerts.
With more than ONE MILLION tweets, Tony Bobulinski never cracked the top 5 in the past 18 hours.
MSM: crickets.
— Jenna Ellis (@JennaEllisEsq) October 28, 2020
Amazing how Miles Taylor decided to out himself just a couple of hours before Tucker Carlson is set to release more from Tony Bobulinski
— Ryan Saavedra (@RealSaavedra) October 28, 2020
Amazing. Well, you see, the thing is that Bobulinski’s claims can’t be verified, while an opinion piece by an unnamed writer finally can.
