Sorry, I should've clarified.

The ideological partisanship cleaving American democracy apart finds its echo chamber on Twitter. Yes, the alt-right uses it yes, Trump uses it; yes, every single grotesque Putin-bot uses it; and yes, every single hysterical left-winger uses it as well.

It has become a hub for unsubstantiated rumour, gossip, and outright lies. So, all I was doing was casting shade at some rumours on Twitter turning into a massive story.

My rule these days is a) to stay off the platform (I deleted my account yesterday), and b) only trust stories where a journalist quotes an actual source on record.
