    Edward Snowden Retweeted Brian Beutler

    Maddow's lawyerly defense of why her implication was wrong is disappointing. Such caution should come prior to raising alarm on national TV.https://twitter.com/brianbeutler/status/883388968175140864 …

        When the media's credibility is under attack, rushing stories out before checking facts and contacting the subject is hard to comprehend.

        That said, journalism is hard and mistakes happen. When they do, as in this Maddow case, apologies should be frank and unequivocal.

        When we start getting economical with facts, we lose. This important story was mangled by needlessly injected an unsupportable conspiracy.

        Each time the media gets a prominent story wrong right now, I wince. More than egg on a famous face, it risks a generation's trust in news.

        If our most famous journalists are so proud they can't admit to what is now an obvious error, how can they hope to hold the public trust?

        Most folks can't read three different papers every day. If we don't set the highest standard, many give up and say the truth is unknowable.

        I think everyone in the thread you retweeted missed the point of the story. The point is of the effort to dupe media, not the source.

        As I recall, she kept speculation on sources to a minimum, merely warning and emphasizing that SOMEONE was trying to pwn media outlets.

        There's this odd idea in that thread that maddow was pointing fingers, which isn't at all what happened.

        Why is that? Snowden & Greenwald are all bent out of shape & Maddow's story ultimately had nothing to do with them.

        Snowden & Greenwald are totally spreading bullshit. Watch Rachel's actual show. Her "timeline" didn't attack The Intercept one bit. #maddow

        They're angry she reminded ppl the woman who gave them the doc was arrested; but she didn't even blame the Intercept-tho it was their fault

        Not at all. Maddow reported "sombody" forged American names into new faked NSA docs, using what NSA docs Winner already leaked to Intercept.

        That's because all Fox does is broadcast false info. One big Trump propaganda machine.

        But Maddow didn't broadcast fake news. This handwringing by Snowden & Greenwald is something else.
