[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 547577, member: 2426"] I know what KQ's sources said. I wouldn't use the words that they used, but it looks to me as if Tori just went to twitter as soon as she believed she had a scoop on something, but before any verification. As I said in the previous post, there isn't any public and verifiable evidence as to whether she jumped the gun with bad information or if Oregon is trying to plug a leak. I would say that it is a journalistic failure on her part no matter if it was a misunderstanding or if Oregon is trying to cover up. Even with the "heard from a source with knowledge of the situation" she is making a definitive statement:"Andrew Thacker was offered the DC position at Oregon but turned it down, opting to remain at Georgia Tech". Now, she can't back up that claim. She isn't going to release the name and wording of the discussion with the original source(Or at least if she wants to remain a journalist she won't.), and she can't back up the claim with other sources or information. It is definitely a case where a journalist went public too soon. Now, no matter if she was wrong or is being dumped on, she is in a poor situation from a credibility standpoint. [/QUOTE]
