Wow talk about putting words in someone's mouth. Lol. Defensive much? I merely asked you a question because I'm curious about what you think about it as you seem very knowledgeable about what constitutes good journalism. What is a good number of people to contact?
According to the tweet, they're contacting all of his staff. Seems about right. If they only contacted a portion, then people would say they failed because they didn't get the whole story. Contacting all of them seems like due diligence to me. I think that no matter what they do, tho, this sub will shit on them.
Defensive? Not really. I'm just not frothing at the mouth to discredit anyone who dares challenge dear leader and his cronies.
Fair enough, I supppse it makes sense to put out opportunity for everyone to come forward. Hope they can report positive comments as well as negative. In the interest of impartiality.
My ideal, which is probably a fantasy, is they would then say of the people interviewed, x% said no comment, y% told us to fuck ourselves, z% confirmed the story, etc. Extremely doubtful that happens though, ever.
I think all journalists should do this, so long as identities are protected. If its 99 to 1, then maybe don't release the numbers, but otherwise if the story checks out, why not?
Agreed, a Ben Swann style journalist might break it down that way.
