But the second lesson of the October 1972 error is that catching a reporter in a mistake is not the same thing as debunking the larger story the reporter is revealing. 6/x — PolitiTweet.org

There are multiple lessons to draw from that incident. One of course is the importance of reporters getting every detail right when following a big story. The error of October 26, 1972, might have cost Woodward and Bernstein their beat, if not their jobs. 5/x — PolitiTweet.org

Along the trail of Trump-Russia, individual reporters made individual mistakes - conceded. Also true: the modern media landscape is more escape-inviting than that of 1972. We have more news sources, edited less carefully, moving faster, amplified by cable & social media 7/x — PolitiTweet.org
