Tweets are mass produced quotable out of context discourse. To be harvested to support arbitrary theories.

it seems like your beef is with twitter generally, but gp (at least by my reading) was more complaining about the journalists that rely on it in this particular way, not the underlying platform.

I agree that twitter is a cesspool and does not encourage thoughtful communication, but it feels a little forced to me in this conversation.
