discussions. with pulled some sound from different networks to illustrate what i m talking about. a lot of this is conjecture and trying to piece together and figure out motivation. we should quickly point out that as we saw with newtown, people do crazy things. before we leap to any conclusions of a political motive at this point we have no reason to believe whether their religion or origin has anything to do with this. keep that in mind. is that the sound of journalists pulling back? if you landed on social media during that time, everybody was saying, please, don t report things that aren t true. twitter grew up during this crisis. it really showed that people didn t want to get it wrong this time. we ll talk more about that in the next segment. i also wanted to say we focused on the things that went wrong.
he said he s a below average looking guy with a smoking hot wife. and he said he showed the picture. he was the first one to get it it. i saw it an instant after it was tweeted. right, wrong, why would a guy with a smoking hot wife have this picture? and i waited. half an hour later, cnn had it. so is twitter and other social media sites putting pressure on the media? after all, there are so many journalists in every newsroom. i brought this up about twitter being the blitzing linebacker. you brought it up as was it it putting undue pressure on those of us to do things differently. i would say it it opens up the dialogue. there s also the question of is this real. it opens up the dialogue to millions of people rather than just a small monopoly in the
new york post made a great case for journalism. i m not going to go there. rupert murdoch has not apologized. he said on twitter only our picks were those distributed by fbi and withdrawn when fbi changed directions. you can t withdraw something that s in print and on the newsstands. that s not an apology. if you screw up, say you re sorry. it s as simple as that. this is a screw up. this is willful attempt to sell newspapers on something flimsy and they knew it. so i think this is not a screw up. i think that s where we go wrong. do you not agree with that? i think it was deliberate and premeditated and not something based on a source that turned out to be wrong. it s like, hey, this will sell on the newsstand. as long as we don t say it s them, we re legally okay.
one more positive that came out of this is the fact there s nowhere to hide. because the media is so prevale prevalent. it s hard to hide because pictures that used to be in a post office or newspaper now are everywhere. right after this, we talk about the role of twitter and other social media sites in the boston bombing. at tyco integrated security, we consider ourselves business optimizers. how? by building custom security solutions that integrate video, access control, fire and intrusion protection. all backed up with world-class monitoring centers, thousands of qualified technicians, and a personal passion to help protect your business. when your business is optimized like that, there s no stopping you. we are tyco integrated security. and we are sharper. everybody has different ideas, goals, appetite for risk. you can t say one size fits all . it doesn t. that s crazy.
person. please pull down all the links. had person is innocent. that s a very fascinating development. when twitter and facebook and readit surged in popularity, there was a lot of i don t believe what average folks are doing. we really have our trust in the mainstream media. now it seems like there were these voices of restraint restraining people on social media and calling out the mainstream media for things like the new york post cover. i wouldn t take with issue with what joe said, but what i saw on twitter on the day of the attacks was a tremendous, kind of a mass of people, critical mass of people saying stop. yellow light. i was one of those guys. i woke up at 2:00 a.m. on friday morning. the one. status update on facebook said i think we got these guys. i could go to tv, but i m just going o to go on twitter.
