I don't agree with the organisation. I don't agree with what that tweet's claiming. But I also don't agree with the tweet.

The issues raised here can be grouped into two groups:

  • "The media" – probably tabloids, though the "TV" claim is concerning if true – doing anything to get a story, to the point of unethical behaviour.

One of these things is not like the other.

(I have not verified these claims.)
