lots of journalists pushing Let’s Wait re: Trump reporting aft Buzzfeed.I’m all for if that’s universal rule used by all journalists all time. but I can think of 5-10 stories last few yrs that targeted Dems, weren’t true, and virtually nobody waited to see if they were true.
I’m thinking specifically abt 18 months of horseshit Clinton Foundation coverage, 2015-2016.
folks, getting hit pieces wrong abt Clintons didn’t get you fired, it got you *promoted*
I.e. who at the NYT or WP got fired for making deal w/ Bannon for right-wing Clinton book Clinton Cash, which was riddled w/ lies?
meanwhile, the entire Benghazi charade under Obama was marketed by DC press which breathlessly hyped every brain-dead GOP conspiracy claim. but sure, the rule now under Trump is everyone Needs To Slow Down
