I became a breaking news reporter in 2012, which means that in internet years, I have the experience of an almost ancient entity.
What a self-aggrandizing piece of shit.
Baltimore’s X presence is small enough that journalists like her generally know who the other journalists are working in the city, especially those reporting on Baltimore itself. Almost as soon as news broke about the bridge, though, she saw accounts she’d never heard of before speaking with authority about what had happened, sharing unsourced video, and speculating about the cause.
So the problem isn't that Twitter didn't break the news, it's that the wrong people on Twitter broke the news. Not a member of the in-group journalist clique but outsiders with their own opinions.

It's their fault we trust random guy in the street recording an incident than them.
Maybe they could try not lying baldly about every little thing.
