Amazing video reporting guy! His scoopage is legendary! Nice & Munich

a reply to: DearDiary

So, you think this journalist knows more people in Munich than the number of people in Munich that know him? OK.

No I don't think that and I didn't even imply that. I said that the chance that someone would randomly think of him to send their footage to is even more astronomical and simply sounds like a lame and contrived excuse.

The point still remains that this guy apparently has front row seats to both attacks.

And what are you even refering to, the video he shot of Nice or the Munich pic he posted on twitter? Or were both sent to him by strangers?

I think that the chance of him contacting someone would be based on the people he know, as I don't think he would have the time and resources to know that the video(s)/photo(s) existed, who took them, how to contact them, ask for permission to post them under his name and get that permission from a complete stranger. In the same way, the chance of him being contacted by someone else would be based on how many people know him and know he is a journalist with (apparently) good connections.

Apparently, but sometimes things are not what they seem.

I was talking about the Munich video, but since then DerBeobachter has posted on another thread that a reporter has said that Richard Gutjahr was in Nice and Munich, so what I was saying doesn't apply.
