She and other minority women endure vile, baseless attacks on a daily basis, no matter what story they are working on or tweeting about. The attacks on her journalistic integrity were wildly misguided and a bad-faith effort at intimidation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWhat she did was basic journalism. In reporting about Tanden\u2019s tweets, she asked Murkowski for comment. Murkowski had not seen the tweet, so Seung Min showed it to her. This is standard practice,\u201dadded Ginsberg. \u201cIf a subject of a story is not aware of the information they are being asked to comment on, reporters share it with them. This only makes sense and is the fair and responsible thing to do.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Tanden, who has been critical of both Democrats and Republicans, was repeatedly grilled during committee hearings over her past statements. CNN <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2020\/12\/02\/politics\/kfile-neera-tanden-deleted-tweets-slamming-gop\/index.html\">reported<\/a> back in December that Tanden has deleted more than 1,000 tweets from over the years, many critical of GOP senators, amid the prospect of a nomination fight. The tweet about Murkowski, however, was not deleted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related<\/strong>: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/fellow-democrats-suggest-sen-joe-manchin-is-racist-sexist-for-opposing-biden-pick-neera-tanden\">Fellow Democrats Suggest Sen.
