I was responding to your reply, which suggested restitution and consequences as well as collusion. I honestly do not think the evidence would yet allow remedies that you suggest based on Citadel pointing to Adam’s Columns or that free speech issues would not make it impossible to pursue absent the company finding a direct link, which is, unfortunately, unlikely between Adam and these companies because I doubt anyone keeps such a diary or writes such things in email that would be preserved and served up upon discovery.

What one “knows” or has a high degree of confidence in suspecting are different things.

I don’t disagree with your desires for accountability and like I said, the best way to address it is to have rules that prevent it, rather than trying to put it all together, after the fact, which poses a virtual impossibility in most cases, with regard to a journalist or media companies, absent incredible smoking gun evidence of the sort that no one here alleges even.

Of course it seems obvious, but conspiracy theories seem obvious true and no doubt some are even true, but unprovable in a court of law absent certain circumstances not typically possible to bring about. It’s frustrating, I know. But soap boxes aside, the realities are much less satisfying, in terms of relief.

And people do embarrass and shame. It is very much possible that AF might have lost his job at The Street because of the Washington Post coverage, and he was shamed enough that his buddies had to write a column in a media journal to try to save his reputation.

But the people who do this stuff, unfortunately, see impervious to embarrassment and shame. They have no shame. And many people see them as just expressing another opinion, a circumstance we deal with at all levels of our society now. There are very few common truths even when we can all see events on a television and there is objective, written proof.
