The Stupid Things People Say On Twitter is Not News

[votesparks]

After nearly every news event in America today, an associated news article is the amount of people who say stupid things on Twitter about said event. Last week it was racist morons making racist comments about the new Miss America, who is of Indian descent.

The only thing people saying stupid things on twitter means is that people now have the technology to say stupid things, and that from now on, a certain amount of idiots will always say something stupid on Twitter about any news event.

1. Amen, Twitter is good source of stupid if that is what you want, the place to be.

For me the forever example of Twitter stupid is Donald Trump or Palin. On the other hand Twitter is the perfect outlet for the full extent of their cognitive depth. Whenever I hear or see a tweet in the News know that some lazy reporter has missed another day of decent journalism.

Not a fan of Twitter.

3. It's actually a good tool to use to get news

if you use it right. There will always be navel gazers I suppose.

4. and these stupid people

making stupid remarks will remain stupid and vote the likes of TED the smarmy looking POS Cruz into office to represent them. Stupid, stupid amerikkkans. I am ashamed at the stupidity, ignorance and backwardness of a large swath of the amerikkkan populace. Not really surprised anymore by any actions of 'real amerikkkans' in this country though.

5. When twitter reveals a streak of racism or other -isms, it's worth informing the public about it. nt

6. I agree

but it should be contextualized, to help us all know what we're looking at.
