I'm going to write some comments after each paragraph someday soon but they do speak for themselves. Basically, the fix is in in so many ways when Kroll is retained. Imagine how this all played into trying to make Nick Kroll a household name. Imagine how it played into my case http://alisablogq.blogspot.com/2017/07/dismissed-in-interests-of-justice.html  How could Ronan Farrow not follow up on the Cyrus Vance dropped charges strictly due to Kroll's involvement STORY?

 It soon became clear to me that in writing about private operatives I would need to examine another profession as well: my own, journalism. Reporters get leads or tips from all kinds of sources. Some of them, such as consumers or government whistleblowers, want to alert the public to what they see as a danger or a wrong. Journalists also have long gotten tips from hired operatives. But their relationship to private spies is different: it is a symbiotic and hidden one that benefits both sides. A reporter can obtain material from a private spy that they can’t legally or ethically acquire elsewhere, things like stolen emails or confidential financial records. A private operative uses a reporter to make information public that benefits a client or damages an adversary without leaving their fingerprints behind. The journalist gets a scoop and typically never reveals how they acquired sensitive information. Everyone is happy and the public—the reader or the viewer—is left in the dark wi...
