In honour of the journalistic integrity of his media empire I thought it'd be fitting to start a thread for making unfounded claims about him.
I suppose I should start... I've found out that he's actually member of the BCG, I've narrowed it down to either Aaron or DaButt.
I'm neither rich nor 80 years old.

But you do tap people's phones?
Only back in the 80s when they were analogue and unencrypted and could be intercepted by a common scanner. Man, I heard some good stuff back in the day but never broke the law because I never disclosed the contents to anyone.
Wow that's actually creepy.
You could have been one of Nixon's plumbers
Anyone could (and did) do it back then because you could pick up the transmissions on your old TVs and VCRs. Nothing politically juicy but it was always fun hearing drug transactions and dirty talk late at night on weekends. And my neighbor was an illegal bookie so I heard lots of bet-taking on weekends.

Aren't landlines still analogue?
That's the way I leaned to get the lowdown down-under.

The old-skool copper lines are, I'd imagine. But I don't see how you could tap them without physical access. Radio waves were an entirely different story.

Which way did you lean?

Lots of writing material I presume.

I trust you kept it on the down-low.
