The Uninformed Tweet

New York Times Blogger Mocks Michael C. Hall's Cap Without Knowing He Had Cancer

This article relates to exactly what we talked about in class on Tuesday. The NYT writer had tweeted during the Golden Globes about Dexter star's attire; more specifically a stocking cap hiding the cancer-caused balding. Obviously he had no idea of the cancer, but the lack of information has caused him to catch grief. As we stated about publishing information so quickly, he could have avoided this by not using twitter as a place to think outloud but a place for inquiry. He is a professional and in this instance, he exhibits a very unprofessional "publishing" of (mis)information.
