It’s still not in the OP though. Most viewers on Lemmy are just going to see the tweet.
It’s not a huge deal to me since it links an actual journalist (Evan Dyer), but… it’s still bad information hygiene. I think linking the original source should be the gold standard for Lemmy. We can do better at sourcing than pasting screenshots.
I see what you mean. But the ABC article doesn’t mention Flickinger, so it wouldn’t have been relevant to the Canada community as is. The CBC reporter tweet about a Canadian death makes it relevant.
Edit: also going back to the original comment, I think they’re asking why did I share the ABC article if I said it was full of Israeli talking points. And my answer would be that it’s the ABC interview/article that the CBC reporter mentions.
I am not quick-snail, but I presume they mean a link to original ABC source instead of a Twitter screenshot.
It does make me uncomfortable to see Twitter cited so much across lemmy. And doing so would be good information hygiene, anyway.
That’s what I assumed too and specifically provided the ABC source. Which is why I’m confused.
The question is why didn’t you link the ABC article in your post rather than Twitter.

Indeed. I suppose its fair in this case.
