What a joke, standing anywhere else other than the spot where this guy has found to lodge his head it's been clear that the people most enamored with pontificating on Twitter and checkmarks are journalists. The only reason Twitter has been so overrun and to some extent captured by journos is that before they were aware of its existence people had started to rely on it for news and reporting over the existing media outlets. As soon as they got wind of that they flooded in to mine it for red meat stories or easy topics they could latch onto. Now it's practically the de facto source for most reporting.
This guy is trying to spin it as the very bad, no good tech bros are really jealous because journos get free checkmarks with their laptops when they get hired? That tech execs are angry at the media for doing so much hard hitting, in depth Journalism about the tech sector? Does this guy think we were all born in 2017 and don't remember the Obama Twitter years when the media and tech were side by side in the big 'ol government circle jerk?
I guess the media have found their new Trump, his name is Elon and he's elected himself president of their little clubhouse so they've gotta try real hard to make it seem like they're the resistance fighting against the evil dark lord, cause everyone loves Star Wars. That's what the kids are into these days, right?

I apologize for the snark but goddamn it's just revolting how fucking whiny they are right now. Twitter isn't real life ffs just do your job and write about real things that people care about, not shitty internet drama.
