Buford T. Justice Posted June 7, 2016 Posted June 7, 2016 Stefan -- I know you're no fan of Bernie but please consider doing a piece on the AP's attempted theft of the California primary with its Clinton Wins announcement -- which, as the AP graphic's own metadata reveals, was created a day earlier and held a day to do maximum damage to Sanders' prospects in California. Cheers.
dayna j. Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 The metadata thing seems a bit specious to me. I think it's reasonable that they would create digital assets in advance, so that they can publish their materials as soon as possible. Also, let's keep in mind that we're dealing with a situation which had only 2 potential outcomes. I would find the argument more convincing if we were considering an event which was not anticipated and did not have only 2 clearly defined potential outcomes. Maybe I missed something, but those are my thoughts. (f.w.i.w., I support H.R.C for Prison 2016 - 2116)
shirgall Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 A lot of news organizations pre-write expected stories, especially things like obituaries, and update them with final details when the event occurs. The Clinton wins the primary story could have been written two years ago.

dayna j. Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 Just to be clear, the full AP filename was "secret-win-V2-060416c_02.png" It's a curious fact, for sure.
