Justine Sacco Tweet, Today Show Reporting

The Today Show's coverage of PR executive Justine Sacco's offensive tweet about AIDS in Africa is criticized for its lack of detail. The hosts note that the media failed to mention Sacco's employer, IAC, or the specific text of the tweet, focusing instead on the "powerful" internet reaction. They question why a person with only 100 followers became a global news story, suggesting the outrage was manufactured.
