Before “Anonymous” revealed his true identity, The Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway had heard some rumors:
For whatever it is worth, rumors swirling that NYT's famous "Anonymous" person is literally someone named Miles Taylor, but I don't think that is true because that would be even lamer and lower-level than many dreamed imaginable.
— Mollie (@MZHemingway) October 28, 2020
And that turned out to be true. To make it even more perfect, Taylor is a CNN contributor who claimed he was NOT the author “Anonymous,” and he did so on CNN (add that to the pile of lies told on the cable news outlet). Hemingway rattled off some tweets mocking the media, and yet again they have it coming:
Oh I guess it is true? HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA. That is so bleeping BEAUTIFUL I can't possibly be more thankful. I love this so much. The person that the NYT strongly insinuated was, like, the VP or WH Chief of Staff, or Cabinet Member was literally "Miles Taylor." HA HA HA

FWIW, White House officials were predicting that @shearm of the NYT would get the "scoop" on revealing who "Anonymous" was because of his "hack record" on reporting the debunked Russia collusion narrative, so they're all feeling pretty good right now.

I'm told "Miles Taylor" is someone you wouldn't know from Adam unless you watch Jake Tapper's show, since apparently he features him on the regular. NYT and other Big Media sold him, falsely, as a top-tier name-brand Trump official when they were using him to tarnish Trump.

Here’s an excellent reminder:
If the New York Times blatantly mischaracterized the anonymous source for their big “Anonymous” info op, imagine how much they’re shading the truth for all of their many other anonymously sourced stories

Let’s just call it instantly lowered expectations from what the lefty media were hoping for:
Later: “It was Miles Taylor IV” https://t.co/8WRt5YSujs

I actually don’t know if he’s an “IV” but it feels like he is
