Carole’s take on recent hit piece. Again, an article on how she dealt with her sources and subject access requests, and yet I was never reached for comment on being a source or consequential subject access requester. That’s how I knew the piece was shoddy, slanted and a disgrace.
Is it arrogant of me to insist I should’ve been interviewed for the piece? Maybe. But if it wasn’t for me, there would be no criminal prosecution of Cambridge Analytica. So there’s that. theregister.co.uk/2018/10/04/scl…
You can see from these DMs that the reporter sees his job as calling out what he believes is improper behavior in the industry. Well, maybe a more rigorous reporter should be put on that beat? They don’t respond to criticism but they sure do dish it out.
I can think of only one other occasion where I saw a story from a major news org covering subject access requests and the data scandal in question that didn’t appropriately reach out to me for comment. This bizarre take is now wisely locked away in the Bloomberg subscriber vault. 
To give you a sense of who’s a big fan of the hit piece on Cadwalladr. This troll mounted a violent personal attack on her using official campaign infrastructure. That attack and the ones from the Russian government were not mentioned in the hit piece.
What a world? What a world.
