Sometimes Twitter is just … Twitter. And you can’t help but roll your eyes so hard you see behind yourself.
I don't think I could roll my eyes any harder. https://t.co/RjM6JWwSHF

Take for instance this back-and-forth between Senior Editor at The New Republic, Jeet Heer, and a gent who took him to task for being snobby about White House sources.
We used to live in a world where we could immediately dismiss the idea that InfoWars has high level White House sources. https://t.co/RcwYSANym3

In the good ol’ days no one they disagreed with had access to the White House, is that what he meant to say?
Yeah, it also happened to be the world where Vox, Think Progress, Media Matters and the like where cited as legitimate news sources. https://t.co/LA4wGmbnmk

Look out, truth bomb at 2 o’clock.
And absolutely fair point. Under Obama, openly biased Leftist media groups were being treated like legit news outlets but that’s ok with Jeet because he agrees with that narrative.
In fact he thinks it’s ‘factual’.
If you honestly think these are equivalent to InfoWars, then you have a serious problem understanding reality.

Don’cha love when journos get all smug and haughty with us “normal people”? Like we’re all too stupid to understand how biased Leftists rags aren’t anything like biased Righty rags.
Their equivalency is that I take none of them seriously.

Boom again. Pretty sure most thinking people react in the same way – taking none of them seriously. Of course it’s hard to take media in general seriously these days but even more so the obvious and openly biased.
You're very foolish then. Vox in particular has excellent articles and all are highly committed to factual accuracy.
— Jeet Heer (@HeerJeet) April 10, 2017
HA HA HA HA! Oh man, excuse us for just a minute, Vox in PARTICULAR is highly committed to factual accuracy?!
You're not serious. You can't be serious.

There's a reason why the term "Voxsplaining" was coined…

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! That’s hilarious. Have you ever read Vox?

I can't tell if you're joking. I really hope you're joking.

Vox is committed to SOMETHING, but it ain’t ‘factual accuracy’.
