So many words, so little meaning.

Twit posts aren’t news. Period.

Spare me all the newspaper garbage you imagine to be at the core of my objection.

Your prevarication about your motivation fools nobody.
You do not decide the news.
What happens is the news Mumblebumbler.

You don't like the news? Stick your head in the sand someplace.

Your continuous whining about people other than your beloved MSM defining the narrative will continue to earn you ridicule.

You have no intellectual capital and there is no reason to treat you as if you were relevant or rational. You are neither.

I appreciate you acting as a sort of `gatekeeper,’ calling out bloggers trying to use FR to flog their blogs.
But these kids putting up a sign that strongly suggests they are calling for the violent overthrow of the government, like any real threat (I’m pretty sure it’s just posing on their part) has legal consequences, so this is news. I hadn’t seen it anywhere else, and probably wouldn’t have otherwise.
But keep up the good work ... `Crankypants’.

Why not take your objection to the mods? Hit abuse. If they take it down, they take it down; if they don’t, why not let the rest of us discuss the actual issue?

“Twit posts aren’t news. Period.”

Have to disagree with you. Caitie Parker’s tweets about Arizona shooter Jared Loughner were covered by multiple news outlets. Her comments helped immensely in the early effort to counter the idea he was some sort of right winger.
