In fact, I would imagine sites like twitter have more control over the ads placed on them than many websites for local papers.
B) Whenever announcements or tweets or other newsworthy events are reported in the paper, I still like to go to the primary source to get the full context.
So, the solution you propose really is an incomplete solution that doesn't address the problem.
If they post information only on Twitter ... well, it's not that important. I bet some of us lose perspective on the relative importance of messages when they are coming in from all directions.
It flat out amazes me how important people think twitter is to their daily lives.
That somehow when I see various outlets reporting on a tweet, and quoting it, that somehow that isn't enough because it doesn't have twitter.com in the URL?
What is it you're trying to say about me here?
Because I don't use twitter.
We have these things called news outlets, newspapers, and so forth. Apparently these places take an interest in what the president does. weird, I know...
