But it’s not. That idea is supposed to be, “we report verified things, you decide what you think they mean.” It’s not this.
-
it’s been verified that a synopsis of the report was briefed to Obama and Trump
-
But the report hasn’t been. And every good journalist I know who was shown it passed because they couldn’t verify.
-
news orgs didn’t verify the claims in the Russian hacking report last week, didn’t stop them from publishing
-
Well I suppose that’s okay, then.
-
it’s incredibly common for news orgs to publish reports of claims they can’t verify; selective outrage here
-
“Selective outrage” that has been echoed across the political spectrum. But if that’s your line, good luck to you.

Just a guess - presidents are briefed on speculative info all the time. Doesn't justify publication.

Guys. Slow down your echo chamber. When did Eichenwald say emails were doctored?

Yeah. That doesn't say doctored.
