If @repjoecrowley says he didn't say it - point blank, no qualifications - I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt. I would for you, too. @theintercept and @ryangrim should clarify. They're reported as "he said" direct quotes. I personally that's ethically problematic.

Because the host didn’t remember what he said and furthermore didn’t believe that he had ever said anything “bad” previously. You are making something out of nothing which is not like you (at least in the past) It shouldn’t be a “white guy” thing for him. That’s crazy
-
Honestly, if you don't have a recording and are saying - unqualified - "he said" - without even including Crowley denial - it makes the whole story much less believable, and far less relevant as news.

Tom - look closer at the story. Right above it the sources are noted, it’s quite clear, and the next sentence includes more source details:pic.twitter.com/Oy0wHo3ptp

I'm just not totally buying the direct quotes at this point. Did both sources use the exact same words? And how come Crowley's direct denial isn't right there? He made it yesterday. No doubt there's a culture clash, generational aspect too. But I'm troubled by the account.
