Time magazine: “we don’t know how yet, but we’re gonna find a way to link the rise of fascism and avocado toast”
Time magazine: “we don’t know how yet, but we’re gonna find a way to link the rise of fascism and avocado toast”
I’ve been hating this since Twitter became a thing. I used to read BBC news articles for (seemingly) good quality reporting, and then they started quoting random twitter users. Like, who gives a fuck?
Hell, there are even news articles only quoting Tweets.
And TV shows only re-streaming viral YT videos. I imagine these people just watch YT the whole day and call it work.
Living the dream, if you ask me. Just don’t mix it with serious news. “New political coalition formed! Twitter user rear_beads commented: ‘lol’”
One can view a show about humorous viral YouTube videos to be this generation’s America Funniest Home Videos.
Edit: Fix grammar
It always seemed strange to me as well. Who is this person, and why should I value their opinion?
Even worse when a “news” article is just embedding a bunch of Tweets from random people and calling it news.
Which the BBC has done. Awful.
