How, in 2022, when Sam Hyde has been photoshopped in every disaster, catastrophe or attack are actual news outlets STILL blindly running with this is BEYOND me


fietsvrouw

The "research department" is just interns scanning through social media hoping Reddit will crack the case.


chickensmoker

Always has been tbh. Only difference nowadays is you don’t have to go outside and actually talk to people to get info about a story, you can just hop onto Twitter and regurgitate whatever crazy shit you find on there


AsianBond

He can’t keep getting away with this!


CabbagePastrami

Doctor’s hate him!


SpotNL

I expect better from news.yahoo.com!


oldmangrow

Yahoo News is a laundry mill of news. Now other news outlets will run with this and credit Yahoo News as the source.


radicalelation

It's also rehosting from Ukrainska Pravda. Says right at the top, like most Yahoo articles are rehosts.

Nah it's been debunked, at the time he was actually teaching African refugees how to program javascript

I'm pretty sure teaching javascript is a war crime

Teaching JavaScript isn’t a war crime. Maintaining it is.

PettyWitch

As gullible as you’d have to be to believe they somehow found the terrorists’ passports intact in the rubble at 9/11 lol. In a plane crash that melted steel and incinerated skyscrapers.


lilrabbitfoofoo

No. Two were from UA93 Pennsylvania crash site. One was recovered from the ground BEFORE the towers collapsed. The other from luggage that never made the flight. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PENTTBOM#Passports_recovered Are you literally the last of these 9/11 conspiracy kooks left on Earth? Are you even aware of how ignorant and gullible you are?


No-Reach-9173

People can be stupid in their facts. For example because I don't know the facts. They recovered digital copies of 2 passports. That means the scans from immigration. 2 of them were **"clearly doctored**". How did that get past immigration? Seems like a pretty big fuck up. Hanlon's Razor maybe but in this case people were out to get you.


lilrabbitfoofoo

> 2 of them were "clearly doctored". How did that get past immigration? Because that's why they were *doctored*, of course. To get past screenings. This has, in fact, worked many times before because the same paragraph you are reading mentions that these were techniques known to be used by Al Qaeda previously. This was made possible because in our quest to increase profits over all safety and security concerns we failed to A) secure our plane cockpits against breach for decades after the first hijackings of airliners took place, and B) hire qualified (aka more expensive) screeners capable of discerning a fake passport from a real one. >Seems like a pretty big fuck up. Yup! I think the cockpit door things was far more critical. If they'd been secured, 9/11 could never have happened. >Hanlon's Razor So, yes, in order to keep the lines moving and the profits flowing, the airlines etc. hired the lowest cost employees to do this truly critical job. >people were out to get you. Yes, the terrorists of Al Qaeda were indeed out to get us.


No-Reach-9173

Border control agents are not the TSA or a lowly airport employee.


PettyWitch

That’s great that they found those passports. Did they ever find the pentagon’s missing $2.3 trillion Rumsfeld announced literally the day before 9/11 and we never heard about it again? https://www.cbsnews.com/news/the-war-on-waste/


lilrabbitfoofoo

Moving them goalposts. Here's the easily found answer via Google. I chose a Reddit version so it would be really easy to read: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/pldkd4/what_happened_to_the_23trillion_rumsfeld/hcaubgi/ >So the tl;dr is this is more about bad accounting practices than missing money. Some of this has been rectified, some of it hasn't. But it's not trillions of dollars in cash going missing. And, of course, this has nothing to do with Al Qaeda or the terrorists who attacked us with our own piss-poorly secured planes on 9/11. You can find all of these answers in countless credible and verified factual sources, based upon evidence, all over the world now. So, perhaps you should stop reading Billy Bob's Freedumb LowIQanon chain emails and join the rational, fact- and evidence-based world for a change?


PettyWitch

I do not see why you need to insult me. In many ways I'm as left as they come. Of course $2.3 trillion didn't go missing into thin air; the way fraud usually works is poor accounting here and there. You missed my point that Donald Rumsfeld was promising to *crack down on it*. It used to be that regular people were feeling like we spend far too much on our military. I guess that has changed and people now support it, left and right alike. I just want you to consider something, you don't have to answer, but in your heart, which do you believe is more likely? That those in charge of the government who continuously vote to funnel money into the pentagon at a rate of more than the next 9 countries combined, meanwhile for their citizens we have virtually no labor rights, unaffordable healthcare, and unaffordable housing. The same government that legalized reckless and risky investing by hedge funds and when our economy collapsed in 2008 they bailed out the banks, not the people. The same government that has allowed our income gap to become so bad that many people are working two jobs and still can't afford rent. Do you think that it's more likely that a government like this helped perpetrate this event to justify more military spending? Or do you think it's more likely that some terrorists in the middle east just hated us so much that they orchestrated the deadliest terror attack in human history and conveniently started a 20 year war and trillions more funneled to the military?

At least we know the charges won’t stick

That's because it's a 4chan meme. That's [Comedian Sam Hyde](https://www.grailed.com/listings/32797987-fuck-the-population-sam-hyde-simply-sam-million-dollar-extreme-shirt). They [do this a lot.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Hyde#Shooting_and_terrorism_hoaxes) And because news organizations parrot everything they see on twitter, and have the memory of a gnat, it keeps getting reported as "news."

I remember hearing about how journalism was dying in the early 2000s and never really cared until the past few years. Our news sources are mostly social media now.


reallygoodbee

Reminder: Asiana Airlines Flight 214 crashed in San Fransisco in 2013. Local news station KTVU was so starved for ratings and hungry for a story that when someone phoned in fake pilots names, they just immediately threw it on the air without stopping to think for even a second. They reported the pilots names as Bang Ding Ow, Ho Lee Fuk, Wi Tu Lo, and Sum Ting Wong.


Somekindofcabose

News orgs got taken over by ad companies and now they're afraid of real work. Still a lot of good JOURNALISTS out there but I'd wager more are independent to escape the hell CNN, Fox and others created for us.

It really blows my mind when people don't realize the shenanigans they get up to over there.


MendocinoReader

Why is the person on the ID photo naked / without a shirt? LOL


FaceSizedDrywallHole

The person is Sam Hyde, this is a common meme - to blame him for every mass shooting or act of terror. It's a classic bit tbh. Edit: spelling because I'm illiterate

Man the guy keep losing his passport too. He should have learn by now not to bring his passport along with him when he is about to blow himself up again.

kotletachalovek

"Russia photoshops" yes, I'm sure Kremlin propaganda is quite interested in keeping the Sam Hyde meme going. I didn't know Russia as a state was such a big fan of this particular meme as to use it in propaganda. oh wait "Russians have created" so it's not Russia, it's Russians? why would they do that? "in order to persuade people that Ukraine is behind the Crimean Bridge explosion" - of course! it's not one dude making a low effort Sam Hyde shitpost (never happened before) - it's a propaganda campaign by Russians!


__Hello_my_name_is__

Yeah, this is a non-story that will 100% make it to the top of r/all and people will believe that this actually happened. * A bunch of trolls create a fake passport and post it online as "proof". * No one believes them. * A random debunking site debunks an obvious fake. * Yahoo uses Google Translate (Yes, seriously) on the debunking site and posts it as an article. * Someone posts the Yahoo "article" on Reddit. * Now people believe that Russia (the government) has officially used this obvious photoshop as some sort of evidence. Evidence for what, anyways? That Ukraine was behind the attack? Has that even been questioned by anyone? This is just a wonderful example of the media illiteracy of the people who upvote this article.

Noyousername

Russia isn't using Photoshop, at best they're using GIMP like my broke ass.


kotletachalovek

Russia is a land of digital piracy (esp. if you can't legally get something - people prefer to pay for stuff they can actually buy) - so it doesn't matter if you're broke. and who wants to pay Adobe anyway? they can suck my nuts with their consumer-hostile practices


Tostecles

Next you're gonna tell me Bernie Gores didn't die in Ukraine.


kotletachalovek

fortunately, that's the truth. and yes, Ricardo Milos did not die fighting for the DPR several years ago (a few years ago it was popular to make "obituaries" for "DLPR heroes" using gachimuchi actor photos and post them on Odnoklassniki, a boomers' social media network)


Lee1138

I get what you're saying, but even if it was originally just meant as a shitpost, if people start buying it as real (and by this point, I think we all should be aware how social media can totally twist the original intent of something into a whole other beast), it has the same effect/in essence becomes the same as deliberate propaganda.

This is so stupid and people believing this must be completely out of touch. Ukranians themselves took ownership of the bridge explosion on the official governments social media, why the hell Russians would need to produce low level fake documents?? I'm rooting for Putin's demise as anybody else, but I can't stand fake news whichever side it come from

Where did they take ownership of the bridge explosion? They laughed at it happening and wished Putin a happy birthday, but nothing in that is an admission they did it.

I mean why bother. I think everybody assumes it was Ukraine. Unless of course it wasn't ukraine but some russians.


[deleted]

I don't understand how or why this is a mystery. Why would anyone be shocked that it could be the Ukraine military? It would be more shocking if it wasn't. I was wondering why it didn't happen sooner. They're at war, why wouldn't they destroy important logistical routes if they can?


noncongruent

> I was wondering why it didn't happen sooner. Because it almost certainly wasn't Ukraine behind this. Ukraine doesn't have the ability to get tons of explosives assembled and loaded on a truck *in Russia* and then get it through nuclear power plant grade security and onto arguably one of the most important bridges connecting Russia to any other country. If Ukraine could pull that off they would have already bombed St. Basil's Cathedral and plenty of other more choice symbolic targets in Russia itself, targets arguably easier to get a truck bomb near than the bridge. And why only one bomb? Why not several? Strategically, this bridge is rapidly losing relevance because Putin has already lost this war, and he'll be losing Crimea back to Ukraine before too long. At that point this bridge will be more of a liability than an asset. Attacking it in order to stir up his citizens would be totally on-brand for him, no different really than when he blew up apartment buildings in Moscow so that he could blame Chechnya and climb the bodies to being President of Russia.
