More Twitsticks

Yeah, I know I keep going on about this but has the media been reduced to one man and his dog checking tweets?  He reports ‘controversial’ tweets and what’s ‘trending’ on Twitter – all other media report this and then report on how each other have been treating the story and getting reactions to the same story.  It goes round and round until it becomes a ‘phenomenon’ which makes it a bigger story and even more controversial.  It goes round again and again in a meaningless whirl of toss.  I’m fed up of this...

...Channel 4 news were looking at the BBC website earlier and playing bits of Radio 4 that I’d heard earlier and the BBC were reporting an apology from themselves concerning what one of their reporters had said about one person’s possible opinion on one of their programmes earlier because that person doesn’t like what they’ve said being repeated – Meanwhile the police are checking out Twitter because someone said something beastly on the internet.

SHUT UP! SHUT UP!  SHUT UP! – if you have news tell me it – if all you have is reporting on other channels and who said what about who on who’s website reporting Twitter - DON’T BOTHER
