Twitter is not killing journalism, journalists are killing journalism

This rather cheap play on that ugly bromide "guns don't kill people" is indirectly prompted by the constant uproar in  popular media over the horrors of Twitter. The latest tempest was started when George Packer in the New Yorker wailed, " Twitter is crack for media addicts. It scares me, not because I'm morally superior to it, but because I don't think I could handle it."



Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

any time journalists want to return to the job of discerning truth from lies or challenging their sources viewpoints rather than being their stenographer, journalism will thrive.
