Twitter’s Jack Dorsey recently asked for some help from journalists:
Accounts like Jones' can often sensationalize issues and spread unsubstantiated rumors, so it’s critical journalists document, validate, and refute such information directly so people can form their own opinions. This is what serves the public conversation best.

The New York Times’ national political correspondent and CNN analyst Alex Burns’ response included this:
how do you land one of these gigs where you get an enormous amount of money and power while deflecting responsibility onto other peoplehttps://t.co/WTY0sg1vmY

“Deflecting responsibility”? Has anybody at the Times read their own paper’s recent statement about a certain new hire (or their new hire’s statement)?
Your @NYTimes colleague should be able to answer that question. https://t.co/Ipp05y3nYA

So awkward.
Speaking of making money while “deflecting responsibility” onto other people, remember this?
Help the @NYTimes read through Sarah Palin's emails. About 24,000 of them, in fact. http://mbist.ro/l8cBmF
