but god I hate twitter.
and could care less to read the rantings of ANYONE expressed in 140 words or less. Give me David Cross, Bill Hicks, Louis Ck, or any worthwhile comedian ranting about whatever for an hour, and I'm fine. But I don't care what the president of CNN thinks, says or does. CNN has been a shit network for as long as I have been around, and short of firing the entire staff and burning the headquarters down, I don't really see that changing. and if it did, probably wouldn't need to go to twitter to find out. When all the newspapers online and print close, when everything only exists online, and I can only read the news in 140 characters or less, that's when I kazinksy style and live in a shack in the woods with an old record player run by a series of gerbils so I can hear sweet tunes. I still wouldn't follow twitter. Everyone though the death knell of society would be a man named Bin Laden, or Bush, or Clinton, or Obama, or ..nuclear war, etc.
But for some of us, I think it's twitter. Chris crocker. A generation of "journalists" who no longer write about actual news, but write about themselves writing about news. I don't want to hear about you daring to write about CNN President OOOH you are edgier than Hunter S thompson.
