Valerie Plame Blames Social Media for Why She Shared Anti-Semitic Articles

‘That’s why I’m not on Twitter anymore’

EXCERPT:

CUOMO: "If it were one to be one and done, but you’ve shown other interest in that website before, why would you have anything to do with a web site that is operated or at least provided by a guy who is a Holocaust denier?"
PLAME: "Because social media and Twitter can be a pretty hateful environment, and it doesn’t exactly lend itself to thoughtful discussion or reading all the way through. I made a terrible mistake, and I hurt people whose beliefs I respect and I apologized for it."
CUOMO: "I get it. I’m not beating you over the head with that one instance. I’m saying there was more than one. Is there something about that site that you like or that you think is relevant for people?"
PLAME: "Sometimes all sorts of things come across, as you know, in social media that you don’t read all the way through and, you know, and that’s why I’m not on Twitter anymore."
