But the article said “they must”, which wasn’t the case.
All the tweet said was that the presentations started tomorrow.
I can’t access the news channel so I don’t know who actually said what. And true to form, Corless has altered his article which quoted the statement.
That said, as @feep pointed out, Disney seems to heavily rely on data, so now that DS has reopened, I assume they’ll want the standard 2-weeks to see if there’s been a spike in cases? So, at minimum, 3 weeks to make any sort of call?
If it’s from a government official’s account, it’s just as accurate as if they were quoted in a newspaper, perhaps even more so. (Not necessarily true, just no different than them being quoted in more traditional media.)
Recognized journalists, it’s no different than if they are filmed live on the street expounding some piece of information.
Random co-worker re-tweeting high school buddy re-tweeting some doctor no one’s ever heard of…yeah…we’ll stick that one over in this file cabinet in case it becomes pertinent later…
I mean here in the U.K. we just had something of an example to prove my point.
In the parliament process called “Prime Minister’s Questions” a minister. (but not Boris - yes I know he’s the PM but in this case somebody else answered ) said “from the start we threw a shield around care homes”. Just a couple of days before (I think) a different minister said to a committee of MPs that “we should have thrown a shield around care homes from the start”. And the chief medical officer or someone from that group anyway said “we missed the chance to throw a shield around care homes”.
All of those could have been tweets from a government minister. By your argument, all are reliable sources. I mean, they should be, but they all say different things - we did, we should have, we missed the chance to.
