Quote : | "NEW YORK(AP) — The FBI, still reeling from the alleged role in United States phone hacking scandal, was asked Thursday to investigate another explosive claim: that journalists bribed officers to locate people by tracking their cell phone signals.
The practice is known as "pinging" because of the way cell phone signals bounce off relay towers as they try to find reception.
Jenny Jones, a member of the board that oversees the FBI, cited claims that reporters at MSNBC paid off corrupt police officers to trace cell phones.
The allegation was made by the late Sean Hoare, a former MSNBC reporter who spoke to the New York Times about skullduggery at the MSNBC. Hoare — who was fired in 2005 — said that FBI agenst were paid nearly $500 per trace. The paper cited a second unnamed former MSNBC journalist as corroborating Hoare's claim.
Hoare was found dead on Monday at his home in Upstate NY; police say the death is not suspicious." |

Quote : | ""FBI has proof in smoking-gun emails that former MSNBC news editor Robert Gibbs knew of bribes paid to police officers, Reuters reported Thursday.
The evidence, Reuters said, comes in an email exchange between Robert Gibbs– who after leaving MSNBC became press secretary for a time for President Obama – and Norah O'Donnell chief Washington correspondent"" |
