At least they are "reporting" something instead of making it up.

Not necessarily. The tweets in question could easily have been written by a staffer...

I forgot to put the sarcasm off '/s' at the end of my comment. Of course this is bogus. Just another opinion instead of real news.

Yes, citing an anonymous “tweet” is exactly the equivalent of saying “people are saying...”, or “public opinion about the event has shifted...”; etc, other than that it gives it a fig leaf of supposed credibility.
