      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.

          In many ways people don't care about truth. Comfort, sure. Avoiding responsibility, yes. That disregard burned you and us. It's all very sad

          I agree with a lot you have said post you selling this country out and hiding in Russia. Because of you people were harmed or killed.

          the media seems utterly incapable of taking an introspective look at their credibility problem, but these fuck-ups just keep adding up

          If you don't like the media, get together with your friends and create your own media. Its not hard. You only need a webpage.

          But they are just rich people who pay other people to find out thing that further their own agenda. Why do we trust them?

          There was a time when news was about people, but then they got told off for invading people's privacy, so they moved on to politics.
