Can a Twitter post be trusted? This is not on the Fox web site.

So far, this Twitter has never failed me.

I followed the incident of the man who stole a plane and crossed over from Canada....it was a few hours before the MSM began to report it.

Anyway...I just heard the captain story on ABC radio.

Fox News is still trying to make sense of this news. As far as I can tell the report is not confirmed. Sounds like an AP report where they have spoken to someone on board the ship and that someone says the Captain is being held.

Who is going to tell them that?

Hillary?
Obama?

It will go to a UN vote and nothing will happen.

That is their plan.

Do you think they really care?

I don’t think so.

Put some holes in the boat and then trade some life preservers for the captain.

Obama has made a firm response. He called the pirates and voted “present.”

Twitter is coin of the realm If the Twitter is from somebody actually on site, and almost always that’s the case, then the Twitter is the latest and greatest you can get.

It’s the true value of Twitter. There was a case of an American photojournalist that was arrested in Egypt. He managed to get the word “arrested” out on Twitter to his followers.

State Department saw that this guy got sprung within 24 hours of his arrest. In the past, people may not have figured out he was missing for weeks.

It’s quite a tool.
