I would argue that news organizations that report about something that could incite more violence without knowing any details is not legitimate.
Edit: Downvote me all you want, but reporting on something that immediately sounded made up without asking any more questions or knowing any details is journalistic malpractice.
You gave credence to an wild claim with no available evidence or details because it came from “legitimate sources”, even though it was obvious they were trying to push a narrative. Then you turned around and demanded a higher standard when someone claimed the opposite. They’re both untrustworthy without verification, and it is a bit hypocritical to say one was legitimate while immediately doubting the other.
Settle down, Francis. I don’t believe something just because someone posted a picture of someone else’s tweet saying it. That’s how propaganda works.
This is someone making a claim, secondhand. People who make claims have the burden of proof. I am not making a claim.

And the claim isn’t true. That wasn’t a retraction.
Now apply that same logic to the original claim
I fucking did.

Did you?
The thread parent posted, as a quote from somewhere:
A responder replied:
Because that claim was not in the article posted.
I replied, what you’re linking to:
That it was being reported. At legitimate sources. Which it was. Being reported.

I downvoted you because you’re making it out like I was being disingenuous, which I clearly was not.

Jesus fucking christ, shut the fuck up.
You realize a 34-counts-of-fraud, demented rapist is in the White House with this corporate news system doing what it does right?
Malpractice? We are so far away from what they’re doing being called journalism now we can’t talk about malpractice for a long time.
