Ever since social media came along, the real media has become lazy.
Most of today's headlines are based upon tweets.
The fact that they got busted and still won't remove the lie.
Just says everything you need to know about the AP now!
That AP won't retract the tweet says something. It says that tweets are considered less as news and more like chitchat. The assumption being that it is a medium that isn't taken seriously.
People DO read tweets like verified journalism, but the overall assumption is that anyone can post anything and it might or might not be factual. So nothing has to be retracted, no one is responsible for anything said, if later it's proved wrong it's okay. People who take it seriously ought to know better. Since they don't know any better, though, it's a great conduit for propaganda. Sort of like FOX.
The official story is usually a lie, and most definetly bias
Than all of the posters in this thread combined... Seriously.
I don't always agree with everything I say, but when I do, it's because I'm right.
