That's totally unfair when the twitter user in question has thousands or even millions of followers.. checking this user.. oh, 42 followers.
Unfortunately, this is modern "journalism". Check out any "fans outraged over X" story and you'll find that it was ~5 people who collectively have 50 followers, 48 of which are probably bots.
That's why "critics say" and "some believe" are such meaningless and worthy-of-derision qualifiers. You can find anyone who believes anything if you dig deep enough and can search effectively.
- malandrew 7y agoEven if they have millions of followers, it can be totally unremarkable. For example, if Kim Kardashian tweeted on this issue, it would be just as dismissible as this person with 42 followers.
