NBC "breaking" story that FBI wiretapped Cohen then correcting to pen register--record of calls/texts, not their content--is a serious mistake. Hurts credibility
Reminds me of great article by @bernybelvedere: Trump's hard to cover; media's making mistakeshttps://arcdigital.media/is-the-media-biased-against-donald-trump-72109d6423cb …

Yet it really should *raise* credibility, since it shows they're willing to admit mistakes, even on really sensational stories. Sure, maybe they should have waited for more confirmation, but in the end they did the right thing. Still waiting for Fox to retract Seth Rich story.pic.twitter.com/1OBpUpcEWs

Timely corrections are good, no question. But setting the bar at better than Fox is way too low. They should have the prudence to check stories before publication, especially if the story is something media figures might personally want to be true.
