David Sirota blocked me on Twitter

[SHRED]

I sent him an email responding to a couple of his Twitter posts that didn't sound like him.
I'd screenshoot them but I'm blocked.

Here's how he replied.
I'm wondering if his email is also hacked or if he is just a nasty prick?

Your Twitter account hacked??

David,

It appears it's been hacked.

Posts are showing up that don't sound like you.

Just a heads up.

I wasn't being nasty. I was sincerely alerting you.

I have supported many of your articles and posts.

Why are treating me like this?

Sorry,

1. What were the tweets?

[SHRED]

3. He responded to Chuck Todd's post

About Russia.

I believe it was this tweet. I am so rattled and now I am blocked so I can't see his post.
Sirota was bashing Todd for this post as "biased".

17. It was one where he included the first tweet you posted I believe

He commented on his own post.

[hlthe2b]

19. those two were one after the other.

[SHRED]

6. Can you go to his Twitter account and repost what he posted??

[hlthe2b]

9. I reposted the response to Chuck Todd ABOVE

[SHRED]

12. Thank you!

[hlthe2b]

15. You know you can log out of twitter and just google Sirota twitter account and be able to see it all

right? I'm not even registered on twitter, so that is what I do.

[SHRED]

18. thanks for the tip

[Hassin Bin Sober]

16. I'm not on the twitter machine

[hlthe2b]

21. nor am I but I can see whatever I want to, just by go0ggling their name and twitter...

I obviously can't post, but can see whatever...

29. Well I looked at the chuck Todd tweet and saw there were 10,000 retweets.

Didn't feel like scrolling through thousands of tweets.

Maybe I just don't know my way around twitter

[hlthe2b]

30. But, if you only wanted to see Sirota's tweets re: the Todd original tweet, you should just

google Sirota Twitter and scroll down a few. It is right there. I don't read those long interminable threads with comments from throughout the twitter universe either.

2. Whos that? Thats a pretty nasty response...

If he’s a journalist, that’s pretty unprofessional. If not, he just sounds like a jerk.

[hlthe2b]

4. I haven't followed Sirota in a long time, but a couple of his tweets seemed

very skeptical of most issues "Russia".... almost like he was staking out Glenn Greenwald territory? Is that the issue?

[SHRED]

7. That may explain it

[Demsrule86]

24. I don't like him...

[AJT]

5. Wasn't he a Bernie supporter? Maybe he is angry about the Russian

bots that supported Bernie being used to show Bernie as being an illegitimate candidate.

[Demsrule86]

25. I think his wife is being supported for some office by Sen. Sanders actually.

11. Is his voice that important to you?

There are so many great reporters out there to follow.

[SHRED]

14. No

It was just so shocking how you think someone is one way and then this.

[hlthe2b]

22. Sirota used to have a show on our now defunct Denver progressive radio station...

I listened then quite a bit, but saw a bit of evolution in his thinking even during those years that didn't really mesh with my views...

[blogslut]

26. I understand

A prominent reporter blocked me on Twitter and it took me about 4 years to figure it out. I kept seeing people on my timeline retweeting someone but all I could see is "This Tweet is unavailable." I used another browser and discovered the tweets were coming from this reporter and I had been blocked. It was strange because I didn't even follow this guy on Twitter.

I scoured my old tweets and turns out he had once tweeted some bitchy dumb thing about president Obama. I replied to him and called him a "so-called journalist". Boom. BLOCKED.

It happens.

20. I appreciated the post

Now I know Sirota's a Russiabot supporter. That's good to know.

[SHRED]

23. It appears that way... sadly

[demmiblue]

28. This... plus maybe taking a break from Twitter every once and a while. n/t

[Ohiya]

27. Sirota used to be a frequent guest on Al Frankens radio show...

Franken would introduce him by playing the song My Sharona, but instead of Sharona, the song would say My Sirota.

[SHRED]

31. I remember that customized song
