JOURNALISM 101 RULE: If someone says it’s raining, and another person says it’s dry, it’s not your job to quote them both. Your job is to look out of the fucking window and find out which is true. — Now more than ever.
@Strandjunker Respectfully, sometimes there is no “window” through which to see what is true, and sometimes the conflicting assertions of reality are the actual news.
@gbdunkley@Strandjunker that’s pretty rare though, and journalists running that story without asking at least a couple experts in relevant fields is unforgivable misconduct.
