That Time a New York Times Columnist Found Courtney Love"s Lost iPhone in a Cab

That Time a New York Times Columnist Found Courtney Love"s Lost iPhone in a Cab
http://thedailynewsreport.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/8ac01__554px-Courtney_Love_Detroit_2013_kneeling.jpg

It started, as so many things do these days, with a lost phone. A nice young lady named Courtney was traveling in a New York City cab. Upon leaving the cab, however, she left—as so many people do these days—her iPhone behind. 

Usually, young Courtney’s story would have a sad ending: the phone found, its precious contents wiped clean, its skeletal hardware sold on the black market to the highest bidder. 

But this story is not sad. This story is awesome. Because after Courtney left the cab, and her phone along with it, it was hailed by a guy named Frank. Frank found Courtney’s phone. He examined it, trying to determine who its owner might be. And after some investigation—phones, after all, containing much our personal data—he came to an awesome conclusion: The phone in question belonged to Courtney Love. Yes. 

Oh, and the Frank in question? That would be Frank Bruni, op-ed columnist for The New York Times. Because New York. 

So, say you’re Frank Bruni, in possession of Courtney Love’s iPhone. What do you do then? How do you, you high-profile Good Samaritan, make sure that Courtney Love’s lost iPhone is returned to her? You tweet, obviously.

Weird: the iPhone left in my yellow cab last night clearly belongs to @courtney (Courtney Love). Trying to return. Anyone? Courtney?

You also get your researcher to help you figure out the phone’s provenance.

@samdolnick My ace researcher @IsabellaMoschen deduced from texts coming in beneath the locked home screen that it was/is Courtney’s.

— Frank Bruni (@FrankBruni) November 21, 2013

You also get in touch with Courtney’s manager.

@JPeters1221 I’m wholly serious but have just heard from her manager, so all is well.

— Frank Bruni (@FrankBruni) November 21, 2013

You also get in touch with Courtney (@courtney) herself.

@Courtney Hi there. Just spoke with your manager, someone’s en route to get your phone. Will DMS this to you as well.

— Frank Bruni (@FrankBruni) November 21, 2013

And you are rewarded for your Internet-aided heroics.

@FrankBruni frank you’re a gem, what a small world can we exchange dms?

Time Reporter Who Advocated Drone Strike on Assange Loves Big Brother

‘Big government helps protect our rights’

Paul Joseph Watson

August 19, 2013

Michael Grunwald, the Time Magazine reporter who advocated killing Julian Assange with a drone strike, is a quintessential mainstream media hack – he describes himself as a “statist” and thinks big government actually exists to protect people’s rights.

On Saturday, Grunwald tweeted that he “can’t wait to write a defense of the drone strike that takes out Julian Assange”. Grunwald was forced to apologize but not before he complained about how his outburst, “gives Assange supporters a nice safe persecution complex to hide in”.

A picture soon emerged of Grunwald as an ardent supporter the state and a pathetic apologist for every control freak aspect of modern society you can imagine.

Back in April, Grunwald wrote a piece for Time advocating ubiquitous surveillance cameras, gun control, drone warfare, NSA spying, government regulation of business, and basically any and all “Big Brother intrusions into our private lives,” openly inviting the state to “tread on me” in order for “big government” to help “protect other important rights”.

However, Grunwald’s definition of what constitutes “rights” are nowhere to be found in the actual Bill of Rights.

“Like the right of a child to watch a marathon or attend first grade without getting killed — or, for that matter, the right to live near a fertilizer factory without it blowing up your house.”

Grunwald’s argument that every fundamental liberty can be shredded in order for the government to “protect” the right not to be killed – which is not a right at all – is based on emotional bluster and has no basis in reality whatsoever.

In addition, his “right” to not be killed apparently doesn’t extent to people that embarrass the same big government that Grunwald so vigorously defends. The US government can extra-judicially assassinate anyone it likes without Grunwald getting too upset about it.

“I guess you could call me a statist,” writes Grunwald,” before adding “….we do need Big Government to attack the big collective-action problems of the modern world. Our rights are not inviolate.”

Apparently, Grunwald is under the delusion that big government regulation can eliminate accidents, murderers and terrorists.

Grunwald’s control freak argument is also constructed on the baseless assumption that terrorism actually poses a major threat to our lives, when in reality academic studies show that Americans are more likely to be killed by accident-causing deer, severe allergic reactions to peanuts, or bee stings than they are by terrorists.

Grunwald’s simpering, obsequious fealty in deference to the state and his open hostility towards cherished and hard won American freedoms is obviously central to why he was hired as a senior reporter for Time Magazine, and another perfect example of why the establishment media is rapidly losing its audience.
