The mistake was thinking that paid, proprietary software fundamentally = more functionality.

They only thought they moved away from RSS feeds. A whole bunch of the internet is built on Wordpress which publishes an RSS feed by default at website.url/rss or website.url/feed. Which means a shitload of sites are running feeds even if they don't advertise it (or realize it).

I mean, sure. But it's not like that's the only bias. What are the chances it was going to pick two attractive, seemingly well to do people and not two plain farmers or shepherds or something like that? Or people of very different ages or different heights, etc.

It's not choosing entirey randomly but it isn't showing us anything that couldn't have possibly existed.

OP probably assumes it's impossible that a black person might have been born in Scotland in 1820 despite the Atlantic slave trade being in full swing for centuries by that point making this entirely feasible.

I can't speak to that, but a lot of the information the article says they are looking for they couldn't find via reddit. They'd have to compel Mr. S personally to get a lot of this stuff:

  1. All written communications with RCN concerning piracy from Oct. 1, 2017 to the present.
  1. Payment records to RCN from Oct. 1, 2017 to present.
  1. All personal computing records pertaining to usage of BitTorrent from Oct. 1, 2017 to the present.
  1. All social media account usernames used including for Reddit, Twitter and Facebook January 1, 2016 to present.
  1. All Reddit posts and messages from Jan. 1, 2016 to the present
  1. Records of all movie piracy websites (including but not limited to YTS, 1337x, RARBG, Torrent Galaxy, The PirateBay) that were used at your Internet service.

If they are loading the drive up with media for archival purposes how much overwriting are they going to be doing, anyways? Theoretically the drive should last a very long time for that purpose.

This is what I'm getting at, though. If the interviewee didn't fit the checklist of stereotypes Fox News was looking for, there wouldn't have been an interview aired. It was a hit piece. Fox News went looking for a way to run a segment discrediting a movement, and found one.

It was a Fox News interview. If the person who did the interview came off well they wouldn't have bothered airing it. Hell, if the person they interviewed didn't come off the way they did they wouldn't have bothered interviewing them.
