what happens when news media reads tweets
Hm.
Near the end of CNN’s special primetime report on Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 on Wednesday, anchor Don Lemon read a pair of tweets he received from viewers suggesting the plane’s disappearance could be the result of a “black hole,” Bermuda Triangle or an occurence akin to the television series “Lost.”
Lemon then turned to Mary Schiavo, former inspector general of the U.S. Department of Transportation, and said, “I know it’s preposterous, but is it preposterous, do you think, Mary?”
“It is,” Schiavo replied. “A small black hole would suck in our entire universe. So we know it’s not that. The Bermuda Triangle is often weather, and ‘Lost’ is a TV show.”
“Right,” Lemon said.
They’re mocking this at the Alex Jones site. Mostly because it doesn’t correspond to their theories, but whatever the case… 24 Hour News Networks are pretty useless, and are prone to slip and slide into a “throwing out whatever” mode.
Or… you know… reading tweets.
