Don’t ask us why, but Salon took it upon themselves to put together a list of 25 Conservatives they thought were worth following and it was … interesting. There were indeed some amazing people who made the list, but there were several top Conservatives missing, and Conservative Twitter had a lot of fun pointing out some glaring errors on the list.

From Salon:
But what if we told you there are 25 conservatives actually worth following on Twitter? What if we said that there are conservatives that not only dislike President Trump, but also engage in a level of ideological introspection that has surpassed most liberals? Wouldn’t you have to check them out?
Ahem, not a single Twitchy editor made that list so we call BS.
Ha!
Reactions were great, especially from Allahpundit who actually made the list:

@Popehat is on Salon's list of 25 conservatives worth following on Twitter. Yes, he is worth following but still LOL https://t.co/78vKfrTzYI

Most everyone who made the list is worth following but the premise of the story … we giggled all day. And while there was some good-natured ribbing, the reality of this piece is that Salon likely set these people up for some serious trolling.
But we still laughed when we read it.
Yes, we’re immature. *shrug*
I’m hoping to make @Salon’s followup list: 11 liberals who aren’t nuts. https://t.co/Gls5SYcKmI

11 Liberals who aren’t nuts … should we put together that list?
Really digging Salon's list of Top 25 Conservatives at the DNC

“Salon Conservatives” sounds like a gentlemen’s club from 1890s New York that met to have very dry talks about economics.

Oh Salon, this was funny.
