Really? So now it isn't your fault for completely lying to someone, it's their fault for believing you?
- EpicEng 12y agoWhen the source is not an authority, when nothing the source says is verifiable, and when you have a duty to perform due diligence in regards to what you report to your customers as fact? Yes, it's their fault.
- resu_nimda 12y agoUmm...yes? Especially in journalism. This isn't about morality, it's about doing one's job and performing due diligence before believing and propagating a freaking anonymous social media comment as fact. If you are reporting things to people through a channel that is supposed to contain accurate and reliable information, it is up to you to uphold that standard, not the source you are drawing from.
