I am so fucking sick of hearing the term "fake news." -- nm - Callisto Buffalomeat Mar 31, 06:18 10
- It's useful when used correctly, but nobody does any more. -- nm - mara Mar 31, 07:13
- me too -- nm - Epiphany Mar 31, 06:41 5
  - Sad! - Diva Mar 31, 06:43 4
    - you better be glad you're beautiful! - Epiphany Mar 31, 07:15 1
      - *mwah!* -- nm - Diva Mar 31, 07:19
    - Very unfair. -- nm - Shaun Mar 31, 06:49 1
      - I love how much of a toddler he sounds like when he starts whining about "unfair". - Mel Profit Mar 31, 07:02
- Agreed. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 31, 06:24
- yes, also this -- nm - ty97 Mar 31, 06:24
- And, this. -- nm - znufrii, definitely not 40 Mar 31, 06:19
On the hard-hitting political topic of the White House Easter egg roll, nonetheless. -- nm* - znufrii, definitely not 40 Mar 31, 06:13
And you know, if you had said something like "NYT reporter incorrectly criticizes President on Twitter, has to correct herself" I wouldn't have even - ty97 Mar 31, 06:00 1
- If I implied anywhere that this was a NYT article that needed to be redacted or corrected, I apologize. - Strongbad Mar 31, 06:04
i dont really dont understand how mistakes can be classified as fake news. but whatever. - tRuMaN Mar 31, 05:42 6
- Because IMO it wasn't an honest mistake, it was a rush to be first without doing due diligence journalism. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 31, 05:47 5
  - which is an honest mistake to me, as defined by society in this day and age. also I agree with ty, tweets arent news by default, they are tweets. -- (edited) - tRuMaN Mar 31, 05:55
  - IT WAS A FUCKING TWEET -- nm - ty97 Mar 31, 05:47 3
    - So Tweets aren't subject to being labelled Fake News? Got it. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 31, 05:48 2
      - Tweets aren't labeled as news, period. -- nm - ty97 Mar 31, 05:48 1
        
        OK. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 31, 05:49
Can you link me to the original NYT story on this? -- nm - ty97 Mar 31, 05:41 16
- nmbl -- (link) - Strongbad Mar 31, 05:46 15
  - That's not a link to the NYT -- nm - ty97 Mar 31, 05:47 14
    - Look at the original post. "NYT Reporter" -- nm - Strongbad Mar 31, 05:49 13
      - I'm aware that she is an NYT reporter, I'm just trying to figure out where she filed her (fake) news report on this topic. -- nm - ty97 Mar 31, 05:49 12
        
        A journalist didn't do her homework. She was caught. Thankfully, she quickly owned up to it and backtracked. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 31, 05:50 11
        
        That's the difference...there are news sources which hold themselves to a standard. If mistakes are made and how could they not be, they are corrected - Mel Profit Mar 31, 06:38 2
        
        She deserves credit for owning up to it and correcting herself, I agree. - Strongbad Mar 31, 06:44 1
        
        The alarming part now is how easy it is to inject a completely false world view into people who will believe it. -- (edited) - Mel Profit Mar 31, 06:46
        
        So you expect journalists to source and fact check every tweet from their personal Twitter accounts. -- (edited) - ty97 Mar 31, 05:51 7
        
        I expect journalists for well-respected unbiased* media sources like the NYT to fact-check before they criticize the POTUS, yes. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 31, 05:53 6
        
        I expect that too, in stories that they write for the NYT -- nm - ty97 Mar 31, 05:55 5
        
        IMO, a journalist who "Covers the White House for The New York Times" should be held to a higher standard than this. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 31, 05:58 4
        
        The double standards about political coverage drive me nuts. Like 80% of right wing news sites openly make things up. This person made a mistake. - David Mar 31, 06:46
        
        in all honesty, do you view people who get on the news and just speculate in the same manner? - tRuMaN Mar 31, 06:01 2
        
        just like any person who represents a company, I think you want that person accountable for what they tweet - groiny Mar 31, 06:56
        
        I don't really watch cable news. - Strongbad Mar 31, 06:06
AP WH Reporter caught too. Oops. FAKE NEWS -- (link) - Strongbad Mar 31, 05:37
