Misinformation on Twitter is OK, as long as it suits someone's purpose - in this case the press.

tl;dr - a "dashboard" for Russia, Russia, Russia ("Hamilton 68") information was a fraud. Twitter knew it, and the media lapped it up.

Here it is, in a nutshell:

Disinformation for me, not for thee!

Now, the $64 question...Is any of this soaking into the public at large?

I think some. Things do trickle in here and there.

I think the bigger question is whether this is starting to sink into the general Journalist conscience? Are they starting to consider just how far out of whack things have gotten? Have they started to realize that they are no longer challenging those in power but have instead been protecting and cocooning them?

Nah.

Because of the journalistic makeup of Big Media (they're 95%+ Dems) and the simple fact that nobody digs like they used to, because of budget, laziness, etc., I don't think things will change.
