That is my point. Someone else (a normal person) breaks a major flooding news in her area via Internet/twitter before CNN or other MSM. In our area at least, it would be at least 10 minutes or more before our MSM gets any news on this.
Another recent example, tied to the flooding, we had brownouts but the MSM was reporting incorrect brownout schedules. We went to twitter and got the tweets directly from the utility company. This example is not breaking news per se but it affects our daily lives.
Sorry if that wasn't clear before.
- mattmaroon 17y agoRight, but that sadly wasn't the point of the original post. Like most MG Seigler entries, it was logically incoherent and claimed that Twitter "wins" because CNN broke a story there before they broke it on their news. That's just dumb.
