Top News:
Laura Hazard Owen / Nieman Lab:
After Roe, reporters may have to rely on a single source, on the record, to tell stories about the end of legal abortion, as others stay quiet to avoid arrest — In America after the end of Roe v. Wade, one brave source, on the record, is often the best we are going to get.

Bethany Bruner / @bethany_bruner: I was the ONLY reporter in the courtroom this morning as the man accused of raping a 10-year-old girl, impregnating her, leading to an abortion in Indiana, was arraigned. This confirms that the case exists. https://www.dispatch.com/...
The Columbus Dispatch: Arrest made in rape of Ohio girl that led to Indiana abortion drawing international attention
Judd Legum / Popular Information: The right-wing smear campaign against a doctor who helped a 10-year-old rape victim
Erik Wemple / @erikwemple: The Wall Street Journal has added an editor's note to its editorial regarding the 10-year-old Ohio rape victim who had to travel to Indiana for an abortion 1/: https://www.wsj.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Bill Grueskin / @bgrueskin: Re the rape case of the 10-year-old Ohio girl: Left: WSJ Edit Page yesterday calls it a ‘fanciful tale’ Right: Columbus Dispatch today reports arrest of suspect https://twitter.com/...
Glenn Kessler / @glennkesslerwp: The last line of this fact check was: “If a rapist is ever charged, the fact finally would have more solid grounding.” Now, a rapist has been charged and the story has been updated. Getting lots of angry emails but journalism is an accumulation of facts. https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...
Glenn Kessler / @glennkesslerwp: And fyi, for more than a year I have had a policy of not reading notifications. It's made life on this toxic platform much easier. So if you are screaming at @GlennKesslerWP I'm not hearing it. I do respond to thoughtful or provocative emails, though.
Alyssa Rosenberg / Washington Post: This is what it means to rape a 10-year-old
Mia Jankowicz / Insider: Indiana AG says investigating doctor who gave abortion to 10-year-old rape victim from Ohio after Roe overturn
@bartenderhemry: “This story turned out to be true, but the fact that it FELT false to me says a lot about society” -Glenn Kessler https://twitter.com/...
Tom Scocca / @tomscocca: The question, at bottom, is why Glenn Kessler saw an urgent need to challenge a reporter who'd reported that a law had done the thing the law was written to do
Laura Hazard Owen / @laurahazardowen: Unimaginable abortion stories will become more common. Is American journalism ready? (No.) I wrote about the 10-year-old and the fact-checking. https://www.niemanlab.org/...
Justin Baragona / @justinbaragona: Fox News host Emily Compagno, yesterday, on the story of a 10-year-old rape victim who had to go to Indiana for an abortion: “What I find so deeply offensive, they had to make up a fake one!” Meanwhile, the alleged rapist was just arrested and charged. https://www.dispatch.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez / @aoc: 80%+ of rapes go unreported to police. Should those be treated as false too? How do your opinions impact this coverage of assault? What impact have your actions had on that little girl and her family? As “fact checker,” how do your positions impact @washingtonpost's coverage? https://twitter.com/...
Andrew Bates / @andrewjbates46: The headline of this morning's @WSJopinion editorial, “An Abortion Story Too Good to Confirm,” is grotesque. They should update it to “We apologize.” https://twitter.com/...
Elizabeth Spiers / @espiers: Sexual assault stories are among the hardest to cover because by definition the specific act almost never has eyewitnesses. It's hard to corroborate. But that does not excuse casting doubt on victim claims with no evidence when there's so little incentive for them to lie
Davey Alba / @daveyalba: I sincerely hope that journalists do not fail this moment. But I don't know. https://www.niemanlab.org/... https://twitter.com/...
Bill Grueskin / @bgrueskin: So @WSJopinion finally admits they screwed up their piece on the Ohio rape case — but they do so in the most half-assed way possible. Their original editorial did a lot more than “wonder” about the case. They had categorized it as a “fanciful” tale. https://www.wsj.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Brianna Silva / WHDH-TV: A man was charged in the rape of a 10-year-old who traveled to Indiana for an abortion
Andrew Perez / @andrewperezdc: The @washingtonpost fact checker has trained himself to view doctors who provide abortions as “activists” on “one side of the debate” who thus cannot be believed. He probably thinks that's being objective. https://www.niemanlab.org/... https://twitter.com/...
Ted Johnson / Deadline: Arrest Made In Ohio Child Rape & Abortion Case Doubted By Fox News Pundits And Other Conservative Commentators
@erikwemple: All told, I counted 12 sentences that cast doubt on the story — they all stand, uncorrected, alongside an “editor's note” that guts them all. If ever the WSJ editorial board had some editing to do. 3/
Erik Wemple / @erikwemple: Fitting that perhaps the biggest abortion story since the SCOTUS overturning of Roe v. Wade stems from regional/local newspapers, because that's where the reporting on this issue will be playing out for months and years. A brand-new test for a hollowed-out American media sector. https://twitter.com/...
Jared Goffinet / WXIX-TV: ‘Not a whisper’ of evidence to show 10-year-old Ohio rape victim got abortion in Indiana: AG Yost tells FOX News
David Folkenflik / NPR: A rape, an abortion, and a one-source story: a child's ordeal becomes national news
Jeet Heer / @heerjeet: If you're a journalist who works for the Wall Street Journal, how do you feel about your paper muddying the waters in the rape of a 10 year old? Does that make you feel good about your work place? Do you think it reflects well on you? https://twitter.com/...
@jayshams: If only the Wall Street Journal had the resources to report instead of publish unfounded opinions... https://twitter.com/...
Kim Masters / @kimmasters: An absolutely disgusting excuse for journalism, @WSJ. https://twitter.com/...
Chris Geidner / @chrisgeidner: Yes, reporting like this absolutely must continue. But, we already know — by looking at the policing of pregnancy outcomes under Roe and the pre-Roe history — what can and will happen. Add in tech-related surveillance, and there will be new problems as well. This is reality.
@coreypein: This warrants a retraction, not a fucking mealy-mouthed “editor's note” on an unsigned column that cast false aspersions on journalists who did their jobs. https://twitter.com/...
Mathew Ingram / @mathewi: And yet, the headline is still An Abortion Story Too Good to Confirm" https://twitter.com/...
Andrew Perez / @andrewperezdc: Nice, would really like to see an investigation into the decisions to write and publish this shit too https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...
Peter Sterne / @petersterne: @laurahazardowen Right, and this is one reason I don't like referring to Kessler as a fact-checker. Journalists should turn over their reporting to actual fact-checkers, the people who work for their news org and are tasked with confirming facts internally before publication.
@thesarahkelly: I'm bracing myself for some really gross discourse about whether reporters who've had abortions can cover reproductive rights fairly https://twitter.com/...
@sluggahjells: @GlennKesslerWP One @GlennKesslerWP should issue an apology to @srudavsky & @Rachel_Fradette. By even writing his latest terrible “fact checker” piece, he went and delegitimized their reporting in the midst of major right-wing skeptics. Simply put, Glenn Kessler just isn't fit for that role. https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Laura Bassett / @lebassett: Mealy-mouthed update on an editorial that still has the same hed and dek: “An Abortion Story Too Good to Confirm” “Biden told a tale of a 10-year old rape victim that no one can identify.” Imagine calling a 10-year-old's rape “too good to confirm.” https://twitter.com/...
Matt Ford / @fordm: Not identifying underage victims of sexual abuse by name is, for very good and very obvious reasons, one of the few universal rules left in American journalism. Exploiting it like this is shameful. https://twitter.com/...
Olivia Krauth / @oliviakrauth: I've heard this song before. https://twitter.com/...
Libby Watson / @libbycwatson: especially in this climate! i know reporters who have worked on rape stories would tell you the first thing you need to do is build trust. you can't just barrel in like “hey i'm the pinocchios guy from the washington post, tell me where the girl lives”
Alex Howard / @digiphile: If you're a journalist on Twitter, please read your @-mentions & DMs. If you don't want to hear feedback, or answer questions from @WashingtonPost subscribers (like me) here, please delete your account, & post your email address on articles. Thank you for correcting the record. https://twitter.com/...
Bradley P. Moss / @bradmossesq: .@EmilyCompagno FYI, feel free to admit you messed up https://twitter.com/...
Elizabeth Spiers / @espiers: This is wild and abhorrent misunderstanding of sexual assault, and especially when it involves a minor. https://twitter.com/...
Libby Watson / @libbycwatson: absolutely insane to imagine you can just expect a doctor tell you where a 10 year old rape victim lives https://twitter.com/...
Nick Riccardi / @nickriccardi: Good @laurahazardowen piece on the 10-yr-old's abortion story. We are going to have to get used to “thinly sourced” stories like this because so much of this stuff is, by law if not inclination, is private. https://www.niemanlab.org/...
Peter Sterne / @petersterne: @laurahazardowen I think it's worth pointing out that Kessler's claim that the Star published the story without making any effort to confirm is completely baseless. We simply don't know what steps the paper took to confirm the story!
Kelley Root / @kelleyroot: Sadly, this was not a “fanciful tale.” Children do get raped. Children do get pregnant. It's a real issue and it must be addressed. https://twitter.com/...
@blackamazon: Again when do we discuss the laziness of journalism when it comes to marginalized or victimized people https://twitter.com/...
Matthew Chapman / @fawfulfan: The fact you think there has to be an arrest to corroborate a rape story is itself a really egregious error of judgment. *Most* rapists are never caught, any law enforcement or survivor advocate group can tell you that. The word from a named doctor on the record should be enough. https://twitter.com/...
Judd Legum / @juddlegum: Law prof @JonathanTurley wrote an op-ed in the @nypost questioning a report about a 10-year-old rape victim from Ohio who was forced to travel to Indiana for an abortion The column was printed with the URL “activist-tale-of-a-10-year-old-rape- victims-abortion-looks-like-a- lie” https://twitter.com/...
@angryblacklady: but just yesterday Glenn Greenwald said this story was fake in service to his conservative overlords who don't want you to think about the chaos they have unleashed on this country. https://twitter.com/...
Cristina Silva / @cristymsilva: Countless abortion stories will never be told at all. It won't be because they're lies. It will be because telling them is too risky, because patients and doctors and staffers and volunteers will face arrest for coming forward. https://www.niemanlab.org/...
Gabriel Roth / @gabrielroth: If you write a “fact-checking” column and you set out to check a fact and you're unable to determine whether the fact is true, one option would be simply not to write a column about it, on the grounds that your column is supposed to contain fact-checking and you have not done any
Molly Jong-Fast / @mollyjongfast: WSJ editorial page debunked a true story. https://twitter.com/...
Chris Geidner / @chrisgeidner: Thanks to the local journalists who did “confirm” the story, including @bethany_bruner, who was in court. HOWEVER, the idea that each horror story resulting from Dobbs and these extreme state laws should be presumed false is an attempt to hide the consequences of their policies.
Noah Berlatsky / @nberlat: Glenn Kessler and the post failed their readers, and need to update policies and figure out how not to do that again. https://twitter.com/...
Moira Donegan / @moiradonegan: A sexual assault survivor was not allowed to cover sexual violence at the Post. But this guy is. https://twitter.com/...
Helen Kennedy / @helenkennedy: Well this is goddamn pathetic. https://twitter.com/...
Emily Wilder / @vv1lder: “If performing or receiving an abortion now counts as activism, well, then journalists will need to be okay quoting ‘activists,’ unless they only want to tell the anti-abortion movement's side.” https://twitter.com/...
Connie Schultz / @connieschultz: I have many words for this. https://twitter.com/...
Isaac Saul / @ike_saul: Biden asked the nation to imagine what its like for that 10 year old girl — a rape victim, pregnant — to have to travel to get abortion services. Now we should also imagine what it's like for her family to watch an unaccountable media ecosystem slander the story as a lie.
David Darmofal / @david_darmofal: Just a reminder that Glenn Kessler tried to raise questions about whether this girl even existed. There is often a moral bankruptcy in WaPo's “fact-checking”. https://twitter.com/...
Jay Rosen / @jayrosen_nyu: All souls who would seek to know the nature of @WSJopinion read herein. https://twitter.com/...
Sarah Scire / @sarahscire: “Countless abortion stories will never be told at all. It won't be because they're lies.” such a powerful clear-eyed piece here from @laurahazardowen https://www.niemanlab.org/...
Elizabeth Spiers / @espiers: Why would a 10 year take a rapist to court? Lotta men demonstrating that they've never had to care for a child in any meaningful way.
Tom Scocca / @tomscocca: Why were so many people, including the Washington Post's fact-check desk, so invested in acting like it was unbelievable that a no-exceptions abortion ban would block someone from getting a necessary abortion?
Amanda Becker / @amandabecker: Put down the WaPo. *Definitely* put down the WSJ op-ed page. This right here is the analytical take you need to read about our post-Roe world, the unthinkable situations that will nonetheless be true, and if/how MSM can meet this moment: https://twitter.com/...
Eric Kleefeld / @erickleefeld: Step 1: Wall Street Journal editorial, “An Abortion Story Too Good to Confirm.” ("All kinds of fanciful tales travel far on social media these days...") Step 2: WSJ posts editor's note, acknowledging that actual journalists at a different publication have now confirmed the story. https://twitter.com/...
John R Stanton / @dcbigjohn: And also baseless claims by well known bad actors seeking to undermine criticism of their policies doing exactly what they are intended to do. He definitely responds to those. https://twitter.com/...
Tom Watson / @tomwatson: The combination of arrogance and lunacy in this tweet are hard to match in the annals of fact-checking journalism. https://twitter.com/...
Jim Bazán / @jamesbazan: @GlennKesslerWP And yet you asserted it was not a fact without a factual basis for that assertion.
Jane Coaston / @janecoaston: If the lede of your op-ed is contradicted by the editors note to the op-ed than perhaps the problem is more pronounced https://twitter.com/...
@benjaminmillar: To: glenn.kessler@washpost.com Subject: Media folk making not reading replies their entire personality does wonderful things for public perception of journalism, just terrific stuff https://twitter.com/...
@ijbailey: @laurahazardowen This is so important in a post-Roe world, but also one in which most rapes aren't even reported. Should we refuse to report anything that doesn't go through official law enforcement channels? And, as you alluded to, for a lot of legit reasons, one source might be all we get.
Tom Scocca / @tomscocca: These laws are real! If reality is too shocking for you to deal with, you shouldn't have a job in the news business.
Eliza Orlins / @elizaorlins: Grateful for the journalists who show up. I'm used to people questioning what I see as a public defender. Yet, everything I talk about is happening in plain sight in open court. Imagine how different things could be if journalists actually covered what happens in local courts. https://twitter.com/...
Rex Chapman / @rexchapman: There is no bottom. https://twitter.com/...
Natalia Mehlman Petrzela / @nataliapetrzela: Gleefully calling any story about a child's abuse and abortion “fanciful” or “too good” to be true is absolutely 🤮 https://twitter.com/...
Norman Ornstein / @normornstein: We can all yearn for the day when the Wall Street Journal editorial page apologizes https://twitter.com/...
Elizabeth Spiers / @espiers: I want j schools to do a specific course on this. Sexual assault stories are uniquely hard to report out. But no one does this. I learned how to report these things the hard way, with conflicting stories and lawyers. https://twitter.com/...
Melody Schreiber / @m_scribe: “If performing or receiving an abortion now counts as activism, well, then journalists will need to be okay quoting ‘activists’...” Thanks to @laurahazardowen for this. Also if getting an abortion makes you an activist, some journalist would be activists. https://www.niemanlab.org/...
@seandkennedy: Editorial pages are separate from a newspaper's reporters and news departments, but as someone who has worked in newspapers for close to 20 years, this is a nightmare. Unacceptable. https://twitter.com/...
Charles Ornstein / @charlesornstein: Today, an editorial by @WSJopinion suggested the story of the 10-year-old was false. Will the editorial board apologize? Does this change its view? https://www.wsj.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Libby Watson / @libbycwatson: and then of course this https://twitter.com/...
Ed Bott / @edbott: The @WSJ Editorial page? I have never seen a more wretched hive of scum and villainy... https://twitter.com/...
David Pepper / @davidpepper: The national right-wing disinformation machine whipped up a frenzy to deny the reality of the horrific laws their extremists are imposing on a majority who disagree. Ohio AG Yost was a prime instigator. And they were 100% wrong. This will happen again and again... https://twitter.com/...
Brian Stelter / @brianstelter: Two Gannett papers, one in Indiana and one in Ohio, have humanized the new American reality about abortion. And in doing so, they have highlighted the inhumanity of some partisan punditry. https://view.newsletters.cnn.com/ ... https://twitter.com/...
Cristian Farias / @cristianafarias: Not to pile on, but the implication here is a that our understanding of reality should depend chiefly on the word of cops and the criminal legal system. Uvalde, the murder of George Floyd, and other horrors should've laid that idea to rest. https://twitter.com/...
Erik Wemple / @erikwemple: The editor's note leaves an astounding juxtaposition, as it cites the Dispatch as confirming a story that the Journal itself had characterized with this headline and subhead 2/: https://twitter.com/...
Alec MacGillis / @alecmacgillis: Just hours after this editorial appeared in WSJ: https://www.wsj.com/... https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Nick Riccardi / @nickriccardi: (Also tbc as I tweeted earlier an on the record source with 1sthand knowledge is not thinly-sourced, I'm using that ironically)
Kat Abu / @abughazalehkat: This is the PJ Media reporter Megan Fox who spurred the gross and disproven WSJ op-ed which described a 10-year-old's rape as a “fanciful tale”. Fox is now taking credit for the rapist's arrest and ignoring her extremely gross 35+ tweet thread from a week ago. https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Chris Megerian / @chrismegerian: A lot of national pundits questioning whether this case was made up. But only a local reporter showed up to find out for sure. https://twitter.com/...
Jessica Valenti / @jessicavalenti: Only 5% of rapes result in an arrest. That doesn't mean the other 95% didn't happen https://twitter.com/...
Irin Carmon / @irin: “Kessler didn't note in the original column that some of the agencies he'd contacted hadn't responded.” One of those agencies had in fact received the abuse report. https://www.niemanlab.org/...
Isaac Saul / @ike_saul: I mean, this is so, so f*cking bad. It is more than correction worthy. @WSJopinion do the right thing. https://twitter.com/...
Molly Jong-Fast / @mollyjongfast: I'm so very NOT shocked that the WSJ editorial page was on the wrong side of this. https://twitter.com/...
@nameshiv: The alleged fact checker who failed to check the facts has kindly pointed out that he is actually correct to not check the facts because he also doesnt check the replies https://twitter.com/...
@jesseltaylor: so, you know how one side insisted that the 10 year old rape victim was fabricated, then when it was revealed she wasn't, immediately leapt to immigrant-bashing? well, both sides https://twitter.com/...
Warren Gunnels / @gunnelswarren: In the warped mind of @GlennKesslerWP, if your 1 source is an OBGYN with the guts to go on the record about a 10-year old girl who was raped & unable to get an abortion in Ohio that story isn't fit to print. But if your 1 source is a friend funded by the Koch billionaires run it. https://twitter.com/...
Sarah Weinman / @sarahw: @laurahazardowen What's telling about this whole paragraph is that it could just as easily apply to one-source stories from police departments https://twitter.com/...
Soledad O'Brien / @soledadobrien: Lol the @washingtonpost fact checker guy. Anyway, as I frequently tell you—the political media is fail... You guys know what I'm gonna say. This is just example 9 zillion. https://twitter.com/...
Susan Benkelman / @sbenkelman: “Countless abortion stories will never be told at all. It won't be because they're lies. It will be because telling them is too risky, because patients and doctors and staffers and volunteers will face arrest for coming forward.” Well said @laurahazardowen https://www.niemanlab.org/...
Laura Hazard Owen / @laurahazardowen: @petersterne totally. i don't understand the seeming expectation that the paper should have turned over its reporting/unidentified sources to an outside fact-checker. there's a lot of assuming that not responding to his questions means it didn't happen
Peter Sterne / @petersterne: @laurahazardowen You can say “the paper only attributed the story to one source” or “the story only had a single on-the-record source” but there's no way for an outside columnist like Kessler to know what reporting the paper did that didn't make it into print.
Sarah Posner / @sarahposner: Read every single word of this: https://twitter.com/...
Brian Stelter / CNN: Authorities confirm story about 10-year-old rape victim as abortion debate rages
Scott Butterworth / @mrbutterworth: @ErikWemple Or retracting altogether
Media Matters for America: These media figures discredited a report on a 10-year-old girl needing a medical abortion. There was just an arrest in the case.
