There's a difference between making a mistake and not having journalistic integrity
- tootie 6y agoYeah, and I'm pretty sure this was squarely a mistake. I'm not sure you can even assign journalistic quality controls to a personal twitter.
- throwaway894345 6y agoIt's hard to trust a reporter when they behave abhorrently on Twitter, especially when their Twitter persona is based on their occupation as a journalist.
- tootie 6y agoI don't see how this rates as abhorrent.
- throwaway894345 6y agoI thought it sufficed to say that overt defamation is abhorrent, at least when one is a journalist at the newspaper of record.
- tootie 6y agoDefamation implies intent.
- throwaway894345 6y agoI find it impossible to believe that it's a simple coincidence that a professional journalist mistakenly accused Andreesen of using a slur (couldn't be bothered to do the most basic fact checking?) to her 200K followers after she ranted on Twitter for months about him blocking her. I think you're missing a lot of context with respect to her behavior on Twitter prior to her making her account private.
