Matthew Keys, the former social media editor for Reuters, who was accused in March for helping Anonymous hack the Los Angeles Times, hosted a live conversation with someone who claimed to be a leader of the Syrian Electronic Army, the mysterious pro-Assad hacker collective known for high-profile attacks on Twitter, The Guardian and New York Times.

The hacker, identified as “The3Pr0,” answered questions from Keys as well as members of the audience. If the hacker is actually a member of the SEA, the conversation with Keys would be the first live interview with any member with the SEA.

Th3Pr0 said all of SEA’s targets were guilty of biased coverage against Syria, and that the group of hackers harbors a deep mistrust of media. “No one should trust anything they read unless they can verify it from someone they trust,” Th3Pr0 said, adding the SEA is more favorable toward independent journalists, citing Robert Risk and Seymour Hersh as examples.
