THIS: "If there’s one conservative news site that’s been sorely overlooked by media reporters, it’s…" http://t.co/2gNMy2h3I9 @woodruffbets

That conservative news site is Twitchy. As Twitchy readers know, that article (a must-read, for serious) also helped highlight another point. War on Women? Not in conservative new media. But there is a war BY women.

Congrats on a solid piece of reporting on Conservative sites! Loved it! @woodruffbets http://t.co/5KZYhRjzUV #WarBYWomen

Yep.

The Slate article also went on to say this:

OK, so that’s a humble brag. But allow us to bow and curtsy for a moment. Because don’t worry: It’s not all humble brags. Betsy Woodruff’s article also divulged this oh-so-awesome gem.

Also, who is the D.C.-based reporter whose uncharitable Twitchy story came up on a date? http://t.co/DkJYzS8MMU

No, really. That happened.

More from Slate:

The site has also brought a new word into reporters’ lexicons: Twitchied, which refers to the often days-long onslaught of Twitter attention (and, sometimes, abuse) that journalists get after being featured on the site. One D.C.-based politics reporter, who didn’t want to go on the record, said one uncharitable Twitchy story about him came up on a date. His date had Googled him before they went out, and the Twitchy story bashing him was close to the top of his results.

Well, Twitchied or Twitchy’d as a verb shows something else too: Perhaps that whole “overlooked” thing isn’t working out so well for said journos when journos are discussing being Twitchy’d. Snicker.

Igor Bobic, Huffington Post’s associate politics editor, has also faced Twitchy’s wrath. “It’s become somewhat of an inside joke among reporters, and even prompts a round of congratulations,” he emailed. “What’s not fun is the avalanche of hate it immediately brings to your Twitter page, often forcing you to sign off for the next 24-48 hours.”

And is he back for more?
