Hey, Can You Do Me a Favor? [F/U From Video]
That video is pretty bizarre - it looks semi-fake. It's a pretty serious allegation, if it is true bc it implies a foreign country is trying to/can influence our elections.
About the video: It's hosted on "RT Network". It's not mainstream, so I looked up the website. One of the partners is Huffington Post and a couple other non-mainstream news websites. I haven't emailed them to confirm this "partnership".
I also did some looking into this guy: Turns out that is Max Blumenthal (a link to his Bio at HP) and The Nation Institute has at least, a nice, professional-looking page. In this day and age, pretty easy to fake though. But then, I'm not claiming to be hip enough to know the best underground sources of news, so maybe I'm just uninformed of them.
When I entered "SuperPAC Israel" into a popular searchengine (they are NOT verbs, people!), I came up with a bunch of random media links, most of which referenced this "online newspaper". Click on it, and you'll see why it's in quotes. One-man newspaper. Must be a very busy man. Or just someone sick of reading the same news on ALL the networks who said "F this, I'ma start my *own* damn newspaper". That'd be okay. I guess.
Anyway, the one thing that is a bit odd, though: What *is* true is that Gingrich did receive $5m from Sheldon Adelson (verified from LA times article from that I mean that I found a reference to this in LA Times online here ... maybe it's me being biased, but to me, that lends a report a little more credibility).
What is Adelson going to ask for in return?
