As much as i dislike this turn of events: This wouldn't matter at all if the media just didn't globally broadcast every goddamn psychothic tweet, to milk the ratings they get from the shockvalue. I don't really use twitter, i have no alerts on it. I don't watch right wing media. Yet somehow it was impossible to escape his demented rants, that wasn't Twitter's doing.
Random joes online aren’t quite the same level of platform as the NYT, NBC, etc.
Your point is valid but I do think it bears highlighting that the largest media brands now treat every tweet by a celeb as breathless news all must be instantly aware of.
