"Think before your post" why is it important

Think before you post is important because with news everybody wants all the facts and if you have facts that noone else has and you post it on facebook or myspace then anyone can take it and claim they found it, especially if its about someone or samething important. For example if we were all to start bragging on facebook about Osama Bin Laden it might anger his people enough to bomb us or attack us. Everything a journalist knows should be kept under lock and key until publishing. That is my opinion on "Think before you post," and how it is important.
