Is Twitter is a credible and accurate news source? - Morgan H. - 10-15-2012 08:51 PM
Why is it when I watch any cable news channel for 20 minutes (or less) I will hear them quote something that they heard on twitter at least 3 times?
Why do the cable news channels (and local news channels) quote twitter as if it is a credible news source?! They all do it, CNN, FOX, CNBC talk shows everyone. Are they too lazy to do real reporting and just rely on some unknown person with a twitter account? Do the owner's of twitter pay these news channels to use the word 'twitter' every 20 minutes? What is this all about???
Twitter is just a miniblog application for companies trying to take advantage of network/viral marketing. It started out as just another personal messaging gizmo for people with exhibitionist tendencies.???
Everyone, Please repeat after me.. Twitter is NOT a credible news source. Twitter is NOT a credible news source. Twitter is NOT a credible news source.
Stop the insanity now.

Twitter is a waste of time. I find it ironic that the people on it are said to have such "interesting, important lives" when in reality its a waste. Any one who has time to stop and say what they are going to do before they do it, is a bit dull.
