that was no request for comment. It's a heads up
-
how you know what reporter actually said? Ive said "hey, running this soon; if you want comment, nows the time" plenty

it should b clear. that's not pro journalism. U run story FIRST, then ask for comment

You're being sarcastic, right? You can't be serious. Because this is wrong, for many reasons.

Gotta ask their side. It might explain things. Signed: someone who's been a pro journalist for 5-6 years.

Standard operating procedure. Are you not aware how journalism works? This is basic stuff.

No shit, anyone who's been near a real newsroom knows this is common practice.

Apparently someone is unaware how this works. Trump was notified before tape release & NYT stories
