Fox News producers stole my Wake Forest malpractice research

submitted by 4y3h5 from self.conspiracy

UPDATE: Daily Mail, the #1 news site in the UK, has updated their article to credit me instead of TPM/Fox News:

If you have ever wondered how major media outlets discover stories and the (shady) process it goes through before landing on a show like Tucker Carlson or major news sites like Yahoo News, this might be mildly interesting...

Well I have a side project blog for tracking online spam and scams. In the past few years I have exclusively exposed a few interesting people such as:

  • Matt Drudge's Armenian boyfriend who was illegally re-publishing New York Times articles to help the Drudge Report avoid paywalls (DNUZ)
  • An infamous Craigslist scammer based in Indonesia selling fake "vehicle reports"
  • The main email spammer for the Republican Party and Trump
  • etc, etc

A few days ago, Libs Of TikTok shared a post from an anonymous doctor from Wake Forest Medical School because she confessed to injuring a patient on purpose because of his political views, and this sounded scary so I did my thing and figured out who she was:

Almost immediately, a producer Gregg Re from Fox News "liked" my tweet, since it was also going viral... but 5 hours later, that same person posted his own tweet, with the exact same information that I had already published... but with zero credit to me.

A few more hours beyond that, and a right-wing blogger Libby Emmons from The Post Millennial, quoted that Fox News producer in a news article, insinuating he was the one who exposed the doctor.

Assuming it was a mistake, I contacted the TPM journalist and told her, and she responded "thanks for letting me know!" and then disappeared. After some time, I asked when she would be issuing a correction on her piece or linking back to my blog/tweet? She ignored me.

I then emailed all 4 of the top employees at TPM asking about this, which also went ignored, besides their CEO responding back to insult me.

Deciding to ask the Fox News producer about it instead, assuming we were on good terms since he had already "liked" my tweet, I sent him a DM and email, CC'ing the TPM people, asking him to clarify my blog was his source. Again, this went ignored, until I told the entire lot of them that I would be blogging about their journalistic fraud if they weren't willing to credit my research as their original source.

Suddenly, he responded: he blocked me on Twitter, and then emailed me back threatening to sue me if I proceeded with exposing their content theft. Right now as I type this, he is madly posting on Twitter "new" information about the story (getting ready for a Tucker segment no doubt) with screenshots of emails he sent to Wake Forest demanding ANSWERS!!! about whether this doctor was still treating patients or not... lmao

This might sound like just another goofy part of the internet, but for me (an independent blogger just trying to expose scams in my free time) it was extremely eye-opening that Fox News apparently steals whatever research they want without credit, and then threatens to sue if you speak up.

Now dozens of major media outlets are republishing this story, and all of them credit TPM and this one Fox producer's tweet.

The research exposing "Doctor" Kychelle Del Rosario and Wake Forest medical malpractice was stolen by Fox News from an independent blogger who they threatened to sue if I said anything. This is conservative media in a nutshell these days...

Shame on Andy Ngo for letting this happen. And on their website they have signs to "support independent free thinkers!" and "Ethical Journalism Policy".

She looks very bitchy and unpleasant, as if her photo reflects her attitude.

I've had my doubts about Andy for a long time, never really been a fan. He tries to provoke homeless mentally ill "Antifa" drug addicts in Portland and then gets his camera out every time he gets scratched.

He also puts on a fake British accent during interviews sometimes, which the libs mock him for relentlessly.

I haven't seen him blatantly steal content on Twitter as much as other guys do, but then again maybe his team has always done this?

BTW the "CEO" of The Post Millennial looks like he's 20 years old... trust fund kid or what? What a joke publication.

Edit: here too... the anti-Fox sub invited me to share it.

Edit #2: Gregg Re already sent legal threats to Reddit and these links are now dead

And you chose to publish it here? If so, this is very appreciated and we can help you put pressure on TPM to issue a revision.

I have followed SaidIt for a while and post sometimes under anon accounts when needed, but it's one of the only web forums in the world now where you can quickly register and post an urgent story without jumping through karma reqs, age reqs, overzealous mods, IP range blocks, captcha hell, etc... great stuff :)

Yeah the Reddit in-group signaling and other barriers to entry are too high, but that’s not to say the same thing doesn’t happen on saidit and/or here.

By the way, I was scammed out of half a million dollars by a formerly prominent Reddit user - u/go1dfish - not a year and a half ago. They’ve virtually disappeared off the face of the internet so I haven’t been able to resolve the issue and am living in squalor as a result. If you ever hear anything, or know of anyone who might be able to help, please do contact me further: e@tesos.net

You're right it can eventually happen to any forum or community, that's kind of the catch I suppose.

I will definitely look into your scammer and let you know ;)

That's total bullshit, is there some way I can bring this up at the next shareholder meeting?

[–]4y3h5[S] 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Please do so if you're willing, I would really appreciate it. I'm pretty tech-savvy but what about other citizens who don't know how to expose this, etc.

You can't really steal a news story, once it's in the public domain any one can repeat it. People only give credit if they are feeling generous.

Even I've had a couple of things I've found and posted up taken without credit so for people more active on SM this must be a weekly occurrence.

Likely TPM would have to spend some time researching your claim to be the original source to make sure it is true which means they aren't going to do it.

[–]4y3h5[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Yah that's just not true at all, I have no idea where you are going with that.

You can steal a story both literally (copyright infringement) or figuratively (not sourcing your article), which is different from "scooping" someone i.e. you are both chasing the same leads and one of you publishes the story before the other.

All of this is rigorously taught at every J school in the country... and Fox News is literally the #1 media outlet, so they are very well aware of the ethics of journalism. The problem is many journos care more about grifting and career advancement, so we get end up getting things like Libby sucking up to Gregg (a Tucker Carlson producer) by giving him credit for my research (a no-name blogger).

An anon sharing a story on social media is much different, I'm talking about the news industry.

Update: Daily Mail has updated their article to credit my research, and not Fox News:

It turns out I'm not the first victim of Gregg Re... I have no idea how many people he has stolen content from without credit:
