Mike Cernovich:

Why I Tipped off BuzzFeed to the Biggest Story of the Year
Congressman John Conyers Jr is a serial sexual predator, and I gave the story to BuzzFeed rather than break it myself.

“Pull over, I’m about to throw up.” My wife was driving our SUV as I occupied our daughter Cyra while cruising in the back. I had just given away the biggest story of the year, and the biggest story of my career, to BuzzFeed. I couldn’t relax and couldn’t sleep, because a story of this magnitude is a career making even at the highest levels of journalism. Well…Why did I do it?

Plan A was simple. I’d run the story about Conyers myself. The Democrat-Media establishment hacks at CNN would attack me. They would call me a fake news conspiracy theorist. This would be saturation coverage, making me the biggest story of the week.

I would slowly release my sourcing on the story, until, at the height of the attacks, I would show all of my cards. The media and Democrat establishment would be humiliated. It’d have been Breitbart v. Weiner 2.0, and I’d be a superstar.

Plan B would be to tip off someone in the mainstream media to this story. If a mainstream outlet breaks this story, Democrats are required to answer the story. They can’t use their usual smear tactics. They can’t say, “We don’t respond to conspiracy theorists like Mike Cernovich!”

By going to the media, my reasoning went, the information gets out. This is how to hold Congress accountable, and demand they unseal their hidden record of sexual abuse.

much more, including the record, but not the details:
