Shame on all these news outlets reporting things that are unconfirmed. Hope to God his children were not onboard.

None of his children we're on board neither was his wife. This was erroneously reported


TMZ now reporting second oldest daughter was on board.

crazy we are in a world where TMZ verifies what it reports and ABC/CBS and so on do not. The race to be first is the worst thing about Twitter.

News wasn't always accurate, but it wasn't millions of people with the opportunity to spread misinformation. Twitter allows good and bad information to spread way easier than it spread before.

No denying that, but the news has always been about being first regardless of facts, Twitter just enabled them more. Not twitters fault

No, news sources, credible ones like ABC, used to have journalistic standards that required multiple credible sources to go forward with a story and to get to print/on the air you had to go through multiple layers of checks to spread that information. Now that power presents itself between a persons brain and a person's thumbs.

You were 10, 11 years old when Twitter launched? You don't remember. News was already going down hill when Twitter launched, but before 24 hour news networks it had credibility and standards, ever since then it has gone downhill, and Twitter is an accelerant for the good and the bad.

I think I've heard reporters over the years say that you generally needed at least 3 credible sources before you could run a story. Now they just run it and issue retractions if they're wrong.

This is kinda how I feel. Not really an NBA fan (I'm a football/baseball person) but this is a big part of it for many.
