This person is actually trying to run cover for not getting to a story fast enough, so people got their 'news' from twitter accounts that were faster to the story than they were.
I mean forget the usual stuff like Accuracy? We don't know. Speculation? Likely. Quick and fast updates as they happened? Yes, but maybe not 100% accurate until it can be verified. Most of it was, though.
I'm impressed at both the monumental hubris, and lack of foresight as to how this makes them look. It's honestly astonishing. It's literally fucking:
"Some randos did better than me, a freelance journalist. How dare you?"
Holy shit Vox. I knew you were bottom of the barrel, but you're boring through to the center of the earth with this, just to be worse than that. Holy shit.
Not to mention that these types think Twitter is a news source. They'll comb twitter and reddit to find a topic and do a quick and usually inaccurate report about a trending topic that someone else did all the work to make said posts with.
That's not news. That's not helpful. More accurately: You're not news. You're not helpful.
You live in Baltimore, A.W. Ohlheiser. You could have turned on local news and heard what they were saying and copy pasted for those not in the know.
Instead you bitch about not being first, compared to some unknown accounts?
I guarantee that MSM "journalists" were the kids who would pick a fight, get owned, and then lie to their parents and teachers about what happened to make themselves the victims.

Holy shit, the hubris of it all.
