I’m going to be blunt here.
Matt Osborne aka @OsborneInk knew that @Shoq had made an illegal recording of a phone call with #StopRush infiltrator “Randy Hahn”.
And he wrote article after article to cover it up. Here’s one example from his blog in late June:
Lest anyone think I am simply deflecting here, I remind the reader that Taylor himself is the most likely suspect to have recorded anyone, most likely while enacting his hoax. Should Brandon Darby decide to bring his allegations to legitimate authorities rather than play schoolyard bully with Taylor’s victims, I suspect any “proof” he offers will once again back up the hypothesis that Darby, Stranahan, Bayne, and other right wing bloggers were thick as thieves with Taylor months ago.
Please note this sentence again because it’s a total lie : “I remind the reader that Taylor himself is the most likely suspect to have recorded anyone, most likely while enacting his hoax”
I can’t think of a worse blogging sin then directly lying to your readers about something. Matt KNEW that @Shoq had recorded that call. Knew it for a fact. Matt helped @Shoq cover it up.
There are emails to prove all this, by the way.
