That is not the point I am making. My point is that the information is being relayed onwards through another medium, almost always by means of the broadcast medium of television or radio. I accept that a person may tweet whatever he or she wishes. However, that information is being relayed through a broadcast medium even though it would never be allowed in the print medium, for the reason that it cannot be substantiated. No self-respecting journalist in a print outlet will do that. Why is it acceptable in a broadcast outlet?
