In which Mediaite publishes an article around an out-of-context tweet by journalist and commentator Toure (in which he’s not defending Chris Brown but criticizing the pop star’s defenders, in the span of numerous other tweets), gets called out by John Legend, and is forced to apologize. Sounds like someone had a busy morning. Lesson: If you’re going to shape a story around a tweet, be sure to at least do your homework when posting it.
