http://Breitbart.com Duped By Fake Story That Paul Krugman Declared Bankruptcy -- @BrettLoGiurato http://www.businessinsider.com/paul-krugman-bankruptcy-story-false-spreads-2013-3#ixzz2NElFVGbr …
@GrahamDavidA @brettlogiurato Don't know the order, but if Breitbart saw it at Boston Globe, it's an honest mistake http://finance.boston.com/boston/news/read?GUID=23632832 …

@mattklewis@brettlogiurato Perhaps. But at what point do we stop giving Breitbart the benefit of the doubt? -
@GrahamDavidA@brettlogiurato What if you read something in the Globe, blogged it, & it turned out they had been duped? R u then implicated? -
@mattklewis@brettlogiurato Sure. I would have screwed up. And in any case, I don't have long track record of factual errors w/o correction -
@GrahamDavidA@brettlogiurato I always try to get it right & disdain sloppy journalism. But also feel "there but for the grace of God go I." -
@mattklewis@brettlogiurato Sure, agreed. But I also think the best way to prevent errors and correct misinformation is to point it out.

@mattklewis@GrahamDavidA@BrettLoGiurato The Globe piece also appears to be an automated posting, not something they consciously wrote up. -
@PoliticoKevin
@mattklewis@brettlogiurato Which is a whole other journalistic problem of the age. -
@GrahamDavidA @politicokevin@brettlogiurato it's also worth noting the Boston Globe post is still up and has not been corrected or updated. -
@mattklewis@GrahamDavidA @politicokevin Yep, in my post. Seems automated, but trying to get in touch to see exactly how that happened
