        @TheRickWilson The good thing about Twitter is that it is raw, unfiltered info. Bad thing is that it is raw, unfiltered info.

        @bill_mk while developing stories need wary eyes, this is grossly cynical and generalization lumping in responsible journalists

        Journalists in the age of twitter are in a somewhat impossible position during an emergency or event like last night: (1/3)

        run with unconfirmed info or lose relevance to social media. Myself as a news consumer must look critically at any news (2/3)

        because the situation will evolve. I look at this as a reminder not to make any kneejerk reactions until more info available.

        But I apologize if you thought by retweeting this, I was impinging the incredibly hard work journalists do. Not my intent.

        all good, man. I agree on need to discern on developing stories, but wanted to stand up to my sense of media blaming in that list.

        Also "reports of a possible bomb" = "people understandably on edge". (E.g. the DC carbomb that wasn't on 9/11.)
