@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)

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