- tyingq 7y ago"But an Iranian journalist based in London who initially posted the footage has insisted that his source is safe, and that the Iranian authorities have arrested the wrong person." Ugh. Even worse.
- altcognito 7y agoUnless your point is to send a message. But yes, still even worse.
- csunbird 7y agoor the actual source is the one being arrested and the journalist is trying to trick the government to release the person.
- frandroid 7y agoI thought about that too but media have a lot to lose in terms of credibility if it gets exposed. I'd bet you there was a NYT lawyer in touch with that journalist ASAP when they published that tweet if the journalist hadn't been in touch with legal beforehand.
