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
