The Mole: Anderloads Edition

Anderloads must really love Anderson Cooper. Not only do they have their own version of “the Mole”, they have their very own brand of “Stop snitching” campaign. The bottom line of the interngate for them is that some disgusting person told CNN about the intern. Not what the intern was doing or why she became an intern on Anderson Cooper 360 in the first place. Thanks to our tipsters we have a few more details to share with you.

Anderloads moderator had a keen eye on Rachel's decision-making from the start.

Rachel wrote:
“Since I don't feel like talking about anything serious, like my agonizing conundrum of whether to take the editorial job at Avalon that Anita offered me, or keep the internship at AC 360, or try to do both (which I could do, but then I'd be working 80 hours a week and would never ever get to go to a production meeting, which means I'd never get to pitch a story, which means I'd lose my best chance to impress people over at CNN), I instead decided to do a silly quiz. I blame merry_fitzmas.”

One doesn’t have to be psychic to imagine merry_fitzmas fully described the benefits of staying in AC360 and providing information to the closed community.

Eliza introduced Anderloads to those not lucky enough to be the elite of the anderworld:
“...let me be perfectly clear about this online community. It is closed-membership and password-protected. We are very selective with our membership. New members are admitted by referral and after completing a short quiz. No, I’m not kidding (BTW, how’s that coming, Gabe?). The membership of this community is very media savvy. We’re not stupid.”

They had their own informer on Anderson Cooper 360, how can they not get upset to lose such valuable agent! There’s no way CNN tech department could find out on their own, and nobody on AC360 would notice the intern staring at Anderson. That left Anderloads with only one guess – a snitch! That snitch wasn't getting kind words on our blog: “vindictive, evil, jealous asshole”, “a dick”, “mean-spirited person”. Or could CNN have a mole in the "closed-membership" community?

Anderloads care about nothing more then planting and uncovering moles and snitches. Certainly, "We did everything possible to ensure that Rachel’s posts never got onto the open internet", Eliza insisted. They hate when somebody interferes with their plans. “I must say that CNN has one hell of a creepy HR department. Big Brother is watching you! And here I thought I only had to worry about the NSA. “

Anderloads have a few dozen members, and Eliza takes pride in their community thinking and acting as one. “Our community is so tight that upon news of Rachel’s firing, the anger at CNN from everyone there went through the roof.”… “So to CNN, way to anger your “base”!”

For all who worry about the Anderson Cooper 360 intern’s destiny, it’s a happy end. Huffington Post rushed to give her shelter. Rachel was ecstatic: “On the writing front, I got my second article published at Huffington Post today!”, “Two more approved pitches in the pipe”. Now we know why HuffPo is valued so much by Anderloads! It also gave the start to the new romance. “Horray for Rachel Sklar, my new internet girlfriend :-p” Two Rachels share the highest ethical standards, it’s fantastic that they found each other. Now they can leak together.
