NY Times columnist Paul Krugman says hacker 'compromised' his IP address to 'download child pornography'

Recommended Posts

Oopsie. Busted. Why did he delete his original post? Don't worry though, the NY Times is now on the case.

"New York Times columnist Paul Krugman is appearing to be having technical difficulties as he acknowledged Wednesday on Twitter that his IP address had been "compromised" and used to "download child pornography."

"Well, I’m on the phone with my computer security service, and as I understand it someone compromised my IP address and is using it to download child pornography," Krugman wrote in a now-deleted tweet. "I might just be a random target. But this could be an attempt to Qanon me. It’s an ugly world out there."....

....Hours later, Krugman deleted the tweet, saying that the Times was "now on the case" that it could have been a "scam."

"Deleted original tweet. Times thinks it may have been a scam. Anyway, will have more security in future," Krugman wrote.

Situations like this, the technical folks are supposed to call the police. It's the law I believe.

I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.  I do think the Feds should be doing the investigation though, not the NYT.

As do I, for now.   

But I am sincerely hoping that it was him.    He is such an arrogant A-hole.  I would love to see him dragged down a few notches.     

Congrats on the nobel prize, but it doesn't mean you're not a doosh.

Oh, the Feds will be looking into it alright.  It being a Federal crime and all.  And I will reserve judgement even though 99 times out 100 these things turn out exactly what they look like.  Very odd he didn't come down on how horrible child porno is, but took time to blame Qanon.

Yep. It was a go to line at the ready for some reason.

Other than me, my whole family is classic Massachusetts moonbat liberals.    Never voted for anyone without a "D" next to their names in their lives.     They love Krugman.    Somehow one of our conversations one time got to Krugman and how wonderful he is.    I couldn't take it and said;   I'll tell you what, you pick any article of his you've want and I guarantee that I can find at least 3-4 outright lies or falsifications in it.     They all gave me that "oh you are sooo biased" look but they dug out a recent article.    

I got 3 paragraphs in and the count was already at least 3-4 outright lies.    I just looked at them and said:  that's enough.    I didn't change their minds at all but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Yah, probably not my best.   

But Krugman is one of the few people, which includes you, that make me irrationally angry.      With you it's because you are a fraud and a troll.   With him . . . .  actually now that I think about it - it's because he's a fraud and a troll too.   You two would be beautiful together.

Fraud? Because I’m a Giants/Yankee fan? Oh boy. I may have to leave you alone for a while.

I'll give him and the rest of NYT staff the same consideration they gave Trump and Flynn. 

Paulie is guilty.....when is the castration with a dull deer antler?

MSM/FBI/DEMS first question will be is he a Dem or not, then they decide whether he gets a pass or a prosecution

It's too bad that Democrats have changed the rules to guilty until proven innocent.

The problem with the republicans is that they most often allow the democrats to frame the arguments. And they start out on the defensive.

"I've been so bad Greta!

Spank me hard!

I fly on private jets to Australia and the Amazon and set forest fires there for fun!

Scowl and sneer! Scowl and sneer!

I dump toxic waste in the ocean on purpose!

Harder baby!"
