With twitter - something old people may not know - not saying you are old but...- you can get real time info on the ground situation. If you follow conflicts around the world like I do twitter is like having a ringside seat without the filter of the news organization.
You can also get totally fabricated bullshit from anonymous wankers.
You pays yer dollar, you takes yer chances.
It's nice that you like Twitter twaddle... but that doesn't make it news.
