        This hugely "viral" tweet is false, and the person who composed it admits she has no evidence for its central claim: https://twitter.com/andreastonez/status/827271352893665283 …

        Since I wrote this post a few hours ago, the bogus tweet has been retweeted another ~8,000 times.

        I have no qualm with that larger point. I have a qualm with the specific (and false) claim in the tweet.

        Nobody has argued that you are not entitled to express opinions. Complete red herring. The issue is spreading false info.

        Don't you feel as a representative of a journalism school, you should be held to a standard of basic factual accuracy?

        Because the core factual claim of the tweet is explosive and shocking. If it were actually true, I'd retweet it too.

        I'd be glad to ask Trump about his errors if I ever get the chance. That's irrelevant to this discussion, however.
