Giant national news organizations make mistakes. This isn't surprising when you have a profit motive and need to immediately release stories to stay profitable.

The lies that the news organizations that are purposefully spreading lies and rumors are excusable in their conduct. Willful ignorance.

He said it's not surprising. I don't think he said excusable.

this wasn't a simple mistake, they ran an article without having editors review the content at all. they also did the now-common trick of using 'unnamed unverified senior official who was bunkmates at 6th grade camp with a source with familiarity with the person involved in the situation's thinking'

remember the nyslimes tried this and Comey testified under oath that they knowingly ran #fakenews

I'm just saying that what Thor said wasn't wrong.

Personally I don't even bother with news organizations anymore
I just look for data lol

How do you know it was intentional? If it was intentional why would they retract it without public pressure?
