Lying media gets called out again.. Thanks to TWITTER !!
Not that anyone cares but this is why I have never found Twitter helpful in any way.
1. OK, so you want to find out whether Alvin Bragg is "Soros Backed." Personally, he appears to be a Democrat DA in a supermajority Democratic city, so I would not really waste any time seeing if the Koch brothers made contributions, but anyway.
2. CNN does the research for me, and sets forth all of the connections between Soros, and, by the way, Soros's family, contributions to both Bragg's actual campaign and a PAC which supports all sorts of Dem campaigns. Quell suprise. Does the sun still rise in the East?
3. I don't know who Ben Collins is, but I guess for those too lazy to spend 45 seconds to one minute reading the entire CNN article, he tweets a summary of the article in 140 characters or less.
4. Someone else then tweets that Colllins' summary is wrong, by using as evidence, not an actual quote, but yet another summary of what the article says!!!
5. I then get to read a post by some dude saying 3 and 4 are proof of catching the media lying.
Are you f-ing kidding me? Its bad enough that in today's "anybody can post anything" world I have to read two supposed articles on the same topic, but now I'm supposed to take seriously two tweets on the same article that is barely a page long? What is it? The average attention span is like twelve seconds?
This isn't proof "the media" is "lying" about anything, any Republican can use the CNN article to show the blindingly obvious, that Bragg is a Democrat.
Its proof that in this instance twitter was worthless. That's what it proves. It also is evidence that people actually think a 140 character summary of a piece is in some way equivalent to the piece itself.
