Then they should do the same cross checks and validations before tweeting that they do before going to print.

No but I am sure it has happened many times before to many journalists
That is why social media causes all sorts of problems
I don't see what the response to mistaken tweets has got to do with it. The issue here is that two journalists, who are in very influential positions, were either lazy, incompetent or biased when fed incorrect information by sources they will not reveal.
But it's here regardless, and journalists have the responsibility to behave like journalists. Theres no one else to blame. They are responsible for what they put out, whether it's on 'problematic' social media, a newspaper, a sandwich board, anything.
You put the links to the tweet up Bob!!!!
Are you saying that journalists should now reveal their sources??
I don't understand what you're getting at - I didn't post Peston's tweet because of the responses to it, I posted it because he admitted he posted something in error and, yes, when a journalist puts a story out that is based on something which is shown to be not true, then they should give serious thought to revealing a source.
Yes because Kuenssberg has previous where Corbyn and the Labour are concerned. Peston doesn’t.
Would that be such an outrageous proposition?
No need for any comment really, but I will say that a whopping twelve per cent of Conservative adverts on Facebook must therefore be accurate.
