? They didn’t get duped. The issue was raised by the judge. Everyone reported it. Neither Fox nor anyone else asserted the tweet was correct. Fox, like other outlets, pointed out the guy identified himself as a “professional shot poster.”

@mtaibbi Getting duped by a social media account that is a known parody isn’t inappropriate? How about do an ounce of due diligence before hitting send?

The statement engages in a discussion about media reporting and the handling of information related to a high-profile legal case involving Donald Trump. It critiques the approach taken by a media personality and compares it to other media practices, suggesting a double standard. The tone is dismissive and somewhat sarcastic, aiming to downplay the significance of the criticized behavior by pointing out its commonality in similar contexts.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does not directly cause harm but could contribute to a polarized discourse by dismissing concerns about media practices. [-1]
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    The statement respects the privacy and dignity of others by not engaging in personal attacks or revealing private information. [+1]
  3. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement does not promote understanding, empathy, or compassion. Instead, it focuses on critiquing media practices without fostering a constructive dialogue. [-1]
  4. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement engages in criticism but does not do so constructively. It dismisses the concerns raised by others without addressing the underlying issues in a meaningful way. [-1]
