[Thread] The “bombshell” Twitter Files show the value of skeptical editors, who strengthen stories by poking holes in reporting that uses cherry-picked examples — Can think of several moments when as a young reporter I thought I had a bombshell story and then it became a merely average story or not news at all after an editor poked at it with skeptical questions. Beware media folks who think they're too big-brained for editorial standards. https://twitter.com/...
