    For those in my timeline asking me if it really matters bc Trump bad anyway, YES, IT REALLY MATTERS! Quotes being correct matters A LOT. Don’t you see that’s the issue? If a reporter is so dead sure, that “Trump bad anyway,” he is less inclined to question or vet his own stories

        If the entirety of the structure in a reporter’s industry is super duper sure that “Trump bad anyway,” it can lead to really bad incentives and bad reporting, as illustrated here!

        No one likes the skunk at the garden party, but I’ll be damned if journalism doesn’t need far, far more of them to stink up the joint with their skepticism.

        If this reads like a self-serving advertisement for ideological skunks, then you can call me Le Pew. 😘

        And don’t give me the “corrections are an example of the system working” stuff. Sometimes they are! Here, they’re coming in 3 mos later when they were outed by a recording & the correction & new story are designed to downplay as much as possible, not blare as loudly as original.

        As a former reporter for a smalltown paper, I can honestly say I never reported on anything without on-the-record info from people. No "sources" info. Bad idea written all over that.

        Don’t the New York post report it? A conservative leading paper and owned by Murdoch’s

        It could be worse and they misquote Mr. Potato Head. Then all hell would break loose!
