Wow, gotta love the journalist asking him for an interview when he was still barricaded and hiding: https://twitter.com/NadineatABC/status/981261561057759232 https://twitter.com/NadineatABC/status/981261561057759232. That's not even bottom-feeding anymore, I don't think there's a word for whatever that is. (Edit: screenshot for when it is inevitably deleted: https://imgur.com/a/GEtR4 https://imgur.com/a/GEtR4)

  Plus it's basically inviting anyone else to call in with fake information, pretending to having been there. Bad journalistic standards...

  This isn't the first time she's done this: https://www.salon.com/2012/12/15/abc_producer_earns_internets_hate_for_tweeting_at_newtown_relatives/ https://www.salon.com/2012/12/15/abc_producer_earns_internet...

      I didn't get any message like that in IE11 and Chrome.
    - recursive 9y ago
      I'm seeing this also. It also completely locked up chrome on this machine.

        Are those of you getting the problem on mobile devices? I get those every single time on tvguide.com on a mobile user agent when using the time/date pulldowns.

      Wow, great to see how responsible Salon is being with their ad network, after they decided to inflict cryptocurrency-mining malware on their visitors who use ad-blockers. It's like the Forbes thing, but stupider. salon.com should be considered a compromised site that is unsafe to visit.

        If your reading Salon I think there's not much to be done for you in general.

    They all do it though.

  Well how else do you expect them to get information about what's going on? At least journalists are professionally aware of how to filter such information.
- my_ghola 9y ago
  You say this, but there's people recording video and posting on twitter/snapchat. It's not only the journalists. And I think the word you are looking for is morbidity.
- untog 9y ago
  It's a pretty uncharitable read of the situation to say she wants an interview while he is hiding. She's leaving him a message to get back to her, presumably at a safer time. And while it's pretty grim to see the process at work, journalists need to report news somehow. This is how we all end up with detailed news reports to read.

    But the fact is, he is hiding and tweeted about it. Therefore Twitter is one of his possible information venues. And she spams it with a vulture-like request instead of leaving the line clear for assistance...

      > But the fact is, he is hiding and tweeted about it. Therefore Twitter is one of his possible information venues. Yes. And if you send out information via a venue like Twitter, you might expect responses that are a norm for Twitter. > And she spams it @'ing someone alone doth not spam make, particularly on a medium like Twitter where the default expectation is that you have a broad audience and some of them are going to talk back to you when you tweet. Characterizing that as "spam" is no more accurate than calling a reply on HN spam. > with a fucking vulture-like request The gratuitous profanity and vivid imagery associated with the aspersion here do both add a certain punch, but they're even more empty than the charge of spam. > instead of leaving the line clear for assistance... Twitter @'s & DMs are solidly asynchronous. "Line clear" doesn't apply. And if you're going to argue "well, sifting & skipping input takes precious time & attention," feel free, I guess, because you're simply arguing that an open Twitter account is the wrong medium for reaching out to people in an emergency.
