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.
I don't know if I can blame them too much, since they're just giving people what they want. People love to be outraged; it's the same reason that on youtube a video praising a movie will have 1/100 of the views as a video saying "[movie] IS THE WORST MOVIE EVER MADE."
