CNN's Kosik Regrets Occupy Wall Street Tweet As Industry Criticism Mounts | Media Matters for America

Carol Ann Riordan, interim executive director of the American Press Institute, which conducts many journalism ethics events, also criticized Kosik.

“This is pretty basic journalism 101,” Riordan said. “You absolutely do not put in your point of view or feelings about the subjects you are reporting on. It would be one thing if a reporter used Twitter to capture very quickly the events of the news. But saying they ’bang on the bongos’ and ’smoke weed’ or ’the list of whines is too long already’ she not only stepped over the line, she jumped over the county line.”
