Anyone with a verified account gets away with incitement and harassment on a scale that lesser accounts would be sanctioned for. In the one case I saw where a verified account was sanctioned, their friends (actually I suspect its a paid Tweet ring) rallied their hundreds of thousands of supporters. Given that journalists rely heavily on Twitter (its true source of power), they can amplify this outrage.
Twitter is held hostage by its power users.
