If AP employees fall for basic phishing, should we be surprised at the terrible quality of reporting today? This shows a distressing lack of common knowledge and critical thinking skills.

While you would like to think that control of the AP twitter feed is trusted to someone with critical thinking skills, it is more likely maintained by a ‘social media’ specialist.

Having watched some of those implode spectacularly on the Internet, I make no assumptions about critical thinking being part of the job requirement. Or even common sense.
