@Lindsey_CBSNJ tweets: “At risk of setting off another series of mixed messages from these people, Cain’s camp tells me there’s nothing to report he’ll endorse tmrw”

So let me see if I understand this correctly. They jump the gun and report that Cain will endorse Newt tomorrow, based on unsourced information, not an official statement by anyone in the Cain camp. And then, when someone else from the Cain camp tells them something different, they have to eat their premature words, and they blame it on the Cain camp.

Do I understand that correctly?

Has any journalist heard of verifying and reporting based on facts, getting corroboration and witnesses, citing your sources, etc.?

I guess they don't teach any of that in Journalism School these days.

This blame thing could be a go for the first attack and begin the entire week off. Seen this before. We all have.

The press has got to have some kind of story for Monday and since Cain is such a huge trender on social media, tag, he is it. Every Monday pile on Cain.

So now twits are top notch journalism? Soon this TOOLS will be replaced by scraper bots... JOURNALISM IS DEAD!
