Actual Insiders vs Wannabe Insiders

Not always, some may pick up on it.

Some indeed do.

I've noticed that among the real insiders, they fall generally into two types:

1. Those that 'leak' info ahead of time.​

​

2. Those that will speak up and confirm if a rumor or other insider's leak is true or not. This category includes those who are real journalists, or have enough cred with Disney that they can pick up a phone and get confirmation from Disney themselves.​

Of course, some do both.

But for real insiders, it's a bit dangerous for them to be the leak if it gets traced back to them. That's why there tends to be more 'confirmers' than 'leakers.'

Amongst both groups, you have not only Disney employees, but those who work for contractors who work with Disney. Or their spouses.

Then there are the bull horns (usually bloggers/vloggers). These are people who aren't insiders themselves, but receive tips from insiders, sometimes unsolicited, and report the gems that fall into their laps. They sometimes report big scoops and appear to be well connected. Then they sometimes get those big scoops awfully wrong, because they have no way to verify the rumor themselves.

It seems some real insiders get their kicks feeding the bull horns everything they hear. And Disney says a lot of things, with a lot of those things being ideas not fully realized or greenlit. Don't trust the bull horns. *ESPECIALLY* if they're monetizing the leaks from insiders. Because if they're in a dry spell of leaks, they have a tendency to still publish something... which is usually their unfounded assumptions.

Just know, you've never seen me, a bus driver, and an insider in the same room. Are we one in the same? Or are we just in different rooms? The world may never know

Something to keep in mind. There are insiders posting here who never get a mention, and stay well below the radar.

Fair is fair though; Corless could never keep that to himself...

Absolutely

…if people were never lied to as a tactic out of 500 South Buena Vista Street, Burbank, Ca…

…but unfortunately that’s not a standard policy

You can't trust Martin. Years ago he made that same offer to me and yet, he was wrong on both counts. We have never had coffee (which is good because I don't like coffee) and secondly, I'm still waiting for the story!

Spoiler: JUST KIDDING

Martin is an obvious insider, that still won't tell you to what extent his information is reliable, but, rest assured that it's about the best you can get even if it is sometimes intentionally vague.

We’re eye to eye on this…it’s why I try to be a “temper” to the insider zeal

I never blame the messengers…I blame the nativity of their sources and the “hiss and slither” of the overlords

Thinking what I’m thinking?

Can we buy truth agent on the dark web to put IN the coffee?
