Can’t even argue against that. Way back in ‘09 when the Iranian Green Movement used Twitter to document everything in real time my mind was blown.

That is a positive side. Flip side is that ever since people like Matt Drudge and Breitbart figured out that all they had to do was to float a story out there long enough and it would gain a life of its own, get picked up by the networks, for whom “trending on Twitter” became a valid news topic, and that those stories would then be treated as if they had any merit….

And lots of actors, foreign and domestic, picked up on that approach.

Jade Helm, anyone?
