@willwilkinson IMO too much narrative nonfiction is truth-agnostic on narrow and literal matters (even if it gets the "story" broadly right, which it doesn't always), and too much political journalism is truth-agnostic on broad, thematic matters (even if it gets the facts literally right). — PolitiTweet.org

@willwilkinson Laziness because it takes a lot of work to fact-check to even 95% literal, verifiable accuracy (never mind 100%) in a complicated, longform story, to transcribe interviews, to follow up on leads that might contradict the thesis, to introduce nuance without losing the reader, etc. — PolitiTweet.org

@willwilkinson But there doesn't have to be a trade-off between these! You can get care about getting the truth both narrowly and broadly right (even though you won't always/often/ever succeed). It just takes a lot more work, usually. — PolitiTweet.org
