On the other hand, Sunil Tripathi and Pizzagate.
- Mikeb85 10y agoTwitter has also been instrumental in coverage of various conflicts around the world. And even though Pizzagate is firmly in conspiracy theory territory, you've got to admit - some of Podesta's emails were fucking weird.
- vectorpush 10y ago> some of Podesta's emails were fucking weird I don't think that necessarily qualifies as newsworthy. A "real journalist" would have read those e-mails, found them to be pretty weird, then did an investigation to determine if anything of merit could be uncovered before printing a story. If there were any journalists involved, the pizzagate story would have been a perfect example of "irresponsible journalism", i.e. projecting unfounded claims based on rabid speculation and "gut instincts", yet being unable to prove anything definitively.
