Mediaite's Weak Attempt at Attribution

Former Mediaite Managing Editor Colby Hall is gone. And his replacement, Nando di Fino, is moving on too. We can only blame this morning’s feeble attempt at attribution on Alex Alvarez’s story on CNN lifting Roland Martin’s suspension on the apparent waning guidance going on there.

This would not have happened under Hall’s regime. Or Nando’s for that matter. White House Correspondent Tommy Christopher makes a habit of making his attributions clear within his stories.

Fitting attribution on a story broken by another outlet typically happens in the first or second graph.
