GretaWire gives a behind the scenes on a scoop that turned up yesterday on FNC….

As soon as Jim found the stay away order application, he stepped out of the clerk’s office and called me on his cell phone and read me portions of the stay away application filed and signed by Horowitz. I then “top lined” (sent a message via our internal computer system) to Shep Smith who was on the air doing his 3 p.m. ET show and suggested that he put Jim on the phone on the air. I briefly mentioned in the quick note that Jim had found an application for a stay away order in the Horowitz matter. A few minutes later, as I had moved on to preparation for our show, I heard Shep interviewing Jim. I looked up at one of the many TVs in my office and, yes, my ears were telling me the truth and already Shep was moving on the tip and had Jim on the phone asking him about the stay away application. Jim had the Horowitz application in his hand and was reading from it.

People on the street with cell phones are stealth paparazzi, capable of snagging a picture one minute, then posting it on the Web the next. He adds that during the past year he’s had to “even get more stuff to make it more difficult for people to get through the wire. Who wants to live like that?”
