This whole thing is so wierd. More importantly, true or false I don't see bloomberg winning either way. False and they've just doubled down on a bogus story. True and they've just exposed something that's probably been kept very secret for very long by three letter government agencies that can't be very happy with them. And how the hell is this not on the front page of hn?

That's what being a journalist used to be about, before most of them became entertainers in service of political hacks.

Good question.

I'm pretty sure it was buried intentionally by an admin. I watched in disbelief while older submissions with far fewer votes (thus less popular) and similar number of comments (no more or less contentious) made it to the front page at the same time.
