I am absolutely serious.
"MSNBC is liberal garbage!"
"Fox News is conservative propaganda."
"You mean Jon Stewart isn't considered a news corespondent?"
The news is a tiresome business. But man does it sell. I know, print newspapers are dying. And trust me, I know we can't trust it all. But praise the internet and all that's holy! We have options at our fingertips. But who really spends time searching stories at every reputable news outlet to find the truth amongst the agenda-setters? Not me. But Hashtags kind of kick ass.
Who didn't hear about the minor civil war that occurred in Egypt last week? Well if you didn't, you probably don't have a Twitter account. Trending Topics are what people talk about. I knew hours before my parents because I check Twitter on my phone. My dad watches the news all morning and night. He listens on the radio while driving. He reads the paper and yells at it whenever he has the chance. But against his authority, he loses contact when he works. I don't lose contact ever. Someone will be talking on Twitter. Then it will Trend. Then I find out about it. Then I know. Take that Dad!
What's better is that I will find links to every major news source when I check the Trend. Thanks, Tweeters! Twitter is so handy!
