" The actual traditional news story will cycle faster than the correction or retraction. I think that's part of it, and I think social media, because of how interconnected everyone is on it, makes it travel much faster." Also, many times what happens is something quite simple — people are not paying attention to news stories much beyond the headlines, Williams said. "People send out stuff that they don't even read," Williams said. " Online, I think people are skipping over dates and also not paying attention to the updates too." Tuesday was somewhat of a challenging day for ABC News and social media.
