Bridget Otoo |
Journalist, Bridget Otoo, yesterday incurred the wrath of tweeps after she put out a Whatsapp Broadcast Message as a press release from Madison hotel in the Ashanti region where the Police had retrieved some already cast ballot papers.
Well, after a few minutes, she deleted the tweet and came apologising that her ‘source’ lied to her and that it happens to journalists.
After her apology, the TV3 journo was taken to the cleaners by tweeps who thought she should know better as a journalist to scrutinize information before she puts it out for her followers and the world.

If this Bridget Otoo woman was a journalist in the US/UK she would have been forced to resign long ago— Gambit (@SmylyThe3rd) December 5, 2016
Like the strong woman she is, Bridget proved to tweeps that “it happens” and that she was unfazed by whatever they do.
