It's depressing how common these "summarize a Twitter argument" news articles have become.

The post includes a tiny bit of original reporting at the end, but that's mostly a perfunctory nod to to journalistic integrity (gotta at least ask the other party for a statement!). The author has nothing useful to contribute to the discussion, so they instead put their effort into studiously recording the like counts on each of the quoted tweets.

I need a browser extension that replaces all citations/references to social media with "according to hearsay and rumor..."

Thankfully or sadly, soon this will all be replaced by text generation bots.
