Any news establishment that uses fan tweets as a source and masquerades it as legitimate journalism should be banned from the internet forever. You can tell whatever story you want by cherry picking inflammatory tweets while ignoring everything else. And who's to say that the tweets weren't created by the very same people who are writing the articles? Nothing. It's not journalism, it's glorified blogging, and they should feel like inadequate human beings for it.
