I think people understand that the credibility of news obtained through Twitter is suspect until further verified. But consider the speed with which the false news about Jeff Goldblub was discredited and compare that to how long it often takes "real" media sources to fess up to their mistakes. http://www.articlearchives.com/law-legal-system/trial-procedure-appellate-decisions/829949-1.html "In February 2003, a Florida Court of Appeals unanimously agreed with an assertion by Fox News that there is no rule against distorting or falsifying the news in the United States."
