This is what I was referring to. Sure there are infinite other sites but Twitter is where it is being broken and where majority of all the journalists live. It is currently the site with status and clout for important news. Will that change? Always possible but it is the site du jour.

It's also the site for the unimportant news that journalists decide to transform into "important" news. Too many "click bait" news stories end up being "xxx is outraged" and the story links to 3-4 random twitter comments

Ok gotcha. So largest by volume of breaking stories used as opposed to users.
1. News such as an HN post which is a ... twitter link
2. News in an article or on TV that reverences a ... twitter link
3. Social media referencing a ... twitter link
There's a lot more than appears at first, even if you aren't consuming news on Twitter or Tik Tok a lot of it is being broken there.
