>> from highly vetted/selected journalists, Surely you jest.... You can not honesty believe that at this point with the number of factually challenged stories the NYT times has run over the last few year, which is not even accounting for their clearly partisan coverage in both "news" and opinion pieces. I tend to agree twitter and NYT are not in competition, but I disagree that NYT is in any way more journalistic than twitter.
