If you had any doubt that radical leftists have invaded America’s news media, here you go. A reporter for the news service Reuters was just found guilty of hacking for working with the far left internet collective known as Anonymous.
Former Reuters Journalist Matthew Keys Found Guilty of Three Counts of Hacking
On Wednesday, a jury in Sacramento, California, found Matthew Keys, former social media editor at Reuters and an ex-employee of KTXL Fox 40, guilty of computer hacking under the Computer Fraud & Abuse Act.
In 2010, Keys posted login credentials to the Tribune Company content management system (CMS) to a chatroom run by Anonymous, resulting in the defacement of an LA Times article online. The defacement was reversed in 40 minutes, but the government argued the attack caused nearly a million dollars in damage.
“The government wanted to send a clear message that if you want to cover a group they don’t agree with, and you’re not complicit with them [the government], they will target you,” Keys told me after the trial.
When asked about claims that the prosecution was politically motivated, Assistant US Attorney Matt Segal replied, “I don’t know what Keys’s political beliefs are.”
It’s probably safe to assume Matthew Keys isn’t a conservative.
