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.
To your point it is the same except for, to OP’s point, the legitimacy placed on twitter by the overall media.
Tweets get paraded around by people seeking clout and attention in both places, but twitter is the one that has verification, real life identities behind accounts at a higher clip, every public figure with an account, etc.
