The Whistleblower Newsroom - BUZZSAWED: JOURNALIST PATRICK LAWRENCE

BUZZSAWED: JOURNALIST PATRICK LAWRENCE: As a correspondent for Salon, Lawrence was first to write a prescient piece calling Russiagate a fraud. Then, for The Nation, he reported on a Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity [VIPS] team’s forensic case against the prevailing narrative that the DNC server was hacked by the Russians. This, Lawrence says, triggered the buzzsaw--a furious backlash to discredit him in the mainstream press and on social media, where he endured a “severe and prolonged” attack. Lawrence's account is followed by a frank, personal discussion among Celia, Kristina and Patrick about the buzzsaw experience.
