Can you expand on what you mean here? For the extent of the claim, it seems quite unsubstantiated.

  Below are examples of recent news stories that amount to nothing more than “someone on twitter said:” https://www.businessinsider.com/people-outraged-elon-musk-calling-us-covid-19-response-fascist-2020-4 https://www.businessinsider.com/people-outraged-elon-musk-ca... https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/chance-the-rapper-kanye-west-president-1027821/ https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/chance-the-rap...? https://www.centralmaine.com/2020/07/10/maines-twitter-users-among-top-for-anti-mask-feelings/ https://www.centralmaine.com/2020/07/10/maines-twitter-users... https://news.yahoo.com/us-chinese-ambassadors-spar-twitter-190737360.html https://news.yahoo.com/us-chinese-ambassadors-spar-twitter-1... I have no opinion about any of them, but they’re honestly not that hard to find.

    Keep in mind that in your examples, those 'someones' are Musk, Chance, and the US/China ambassadors. Not exactly no bodies. For better or worse, Twitter has become an official communication channel for many, and is news.

  To make a statement like that 'quite unsubstantianted' on the one of the most common things is very strange. I feel like something was missed or lost along the way. The parent said articles are quoting tweets more often embedding opinion that match the story they want to tell. This morning I saw a sports story from two different papers both with the embedded tweets both with different replies that were opposite and both presented as majority opinion.
