Twitter as the new "evening news"
So, here's a thought.
We've heard a lot in recent years about the effects of the splintering of the major media outlets - once dominated by the big 3 ABC/NBC/CBS - into niches, isolated towers, echo chambers.
It strikes me that Twitter - although controllable through one's feed - has become the nation's living room.
On there today for example are the following...and who hasnt be now seen these somewhere on their Twitter feed: Giuliani admitting to campaign collusion; Nancy's letter withdrawing invite for SOTU; AOC's gambit seeking McConnell somewhere ANYWHERE on the Capitol campus; and, most stunningly, CARDIB inveighing against the shutdown.
Maybe America is one big happy dysfunctional family after all?
