THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS...

I'm GLAD To See That The STAFF At U.S. NEWS Is Taking Responsibility For This GROSS ERROR In Judgement...

Social Media Is Just That, It's Like An Electronic Water Cooler Where People From Around The World Can Gather To Talk, Gossip And Share Ideas...

Living In The SOCIAL MEDIA AGE We Have NEWS And INFORMATION Coming From The INTERNET, FACEBOOK, TWITTER, BLOGS, POSTS AND COMMENTS As Well As Network, Cable And International News Organizations...

As Journalist WE Have To Be Able To FILTER Throw All The FECES We Found On These SOCIAL MEDIAS SITES To Find The TRUTH And REPORT The FACTS To The PEOPLE!

When The FAIRNESS DOCTRINE ACT Was Abolished Back In 1987, This Act Gave Birth To The SOCIAL MEDIA... FACEBOOK, TWITTER And The INTERNET Created A Way For People To Share Thoughts And Ideas At The Speed Of LIGHT...

Today JOURNALIST Have To CHECK ALL Your Sources,The NEWS WIRES And The INTERNET Before You Can RUN With A Story...

I Would Rather Be FIRST With The FACTS And RIGHT About A Story, Then Be The FIRST One To Break The News And Have My FACTS Based On Stories...

Before I LAY MY FINGERTIPS On My Keyboard And COMMENT, POST Or BLOG About ANYTHING, I Make Sure I Check My Facts! Before I Hit Send I Go Back And RE-CHECK My Facts On A Blog Or A Comment, Just To Make Sure My FACTS Are CORRECT And NOT RUMORS, HEARSAY Or ALLEGATIONS!

With That Being Said, These TWEETS Are NOT Carved In STONE And Delivered By A Prophet As The WORD OF GOD, It's TWEETS Written By Some JERK On His Keyboard!

My Advice In The Future Is To QUESTION EVERYTHING, Unless STACEY (Get The FACTS Right) BRIDGES Wrote It Or Said It!

I Did LIKE This CORRECTION...It's NICE To See A NEWS Organization Take Responsibility For Their Actions When They Are WRONG Or Make A Serious ERROR IN JUDGEMENT...

President John F. Kennedy Said,"VICTORY HAS 100 FATHERS, AND DEFEAT IS AN ORPHAN...

CONGRATULATIONS To US NEWS & WORLD REPORT On The CORRECTION And ADOPTING Your ERROR In JUDGEMENT...

In The FUTURE I WISH US NEWS & WORLD REPORT Many More CORRECTIONS To Get To The TRUTH...

Well Done...

Komen should be ashamed - pulling their support from any organization that supports women's health. It will be interesting to see how Komen holds up when people stop giving support to them.

I sure do wish that more news outlets realize that Twitter is not and cannot be used as reliable news.
