    Jeet Heer Retweeted Seung Min Kim

    This is right but I want to underscore something. Even if Kim had dug up those tweets, that would have been perfectly professional behavior. Tanden is a public figure & her tweets are a subject of a confirmation hearing controversy. Finding potential issues is good reporting.https://twitter.com/seungminkim/status/1366400569502482435 …

    This is not accurate @EricBoehlert: I did not "take time to track down a four year old tweet." It had been reported by other news outlets earlier that day so many reporters and aides were aware of this: https://pressrun.media/p/what-a-mess-maureen-dowd-lectures …

        It not difficult to see the parallels between “but her tweets” and “but her emails”

        I think this entire thing is actually around folks getting incredibly mad about GOP hypocrisy getting yet another pass and then lashing out inappropriately. Where is Murkowskis comment on Trump tweeting 8chan pedo peddlers?

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        It depends. Murkowski already knew about insulting tweets. My understanding is that she had NOT seen (or claimed not to) one targeting her specifically. Kim then drew her attention to a tweet she hadn't seen. If that is the case, isn't Kim creating a story -not just reporting it?

        And let me add this: I think Kim is a good reporter generally and follow her work and think the DEMS need to abandon the Tanden nomination already.

        Sure. But what is the potential issue in a mean tweet about a Senator? Especially when just a bit more digging finds one complimentary of that same Senator? Why not show her that one?

        The problem is that it was not really an issue. It was a bad faith attack disguised as an “issue”. Mean tweets are long past relevant for a government role and GOP’s views on them especially irrelevant given their silence on Trump tweets. Treating tweets as the problem is naive.

        If these same people walked by and refused to comment when she tried to show them a Trump tweet but now stop, look and comment because it suits them then she should stop doing it because it’s not journalism to only get engagement when it’s in their interest

        If you’re curious this is why people have such distain for your profession.
