@HughRBennett’s use of the phrase “pontificating about accuracy” speaks volumes about his attitude to truth.
Any responsible journalist with a regard for truth, having (no doubt inadvertently) tweeted a claim that was both wrong and important, tweet a correction rather than simply delete the original tweet.
Mere deletion does nothing to remove the falsehood from@the minds of those who got the original tweet.
Hugh has given no explanation for his refusal. The only conclusion is that he and the @GuidoFawkes website simply do not care about truth and accuracy.
