@ComfortablySmug, you must appreciate, was "trusted by journalists"

The Fourth Estate has come to rely on Twitter as a cheat sheet. And why not?
With newsrooms bearing the brunt of the creative destruction in the media world it is quite expensive to send a reporter out to chase down a story. Making a few calls to follow up a Tweet, however, is cheap. This is, of course, why "Digital Editor" or "Digital Reporter" have become en vogue titles..... The Fourth Estate no longer has the resources to maintain the estate grounds and has squandered any right to the public trust fund that grants it landed title. -- The Strongest Argument for a 100% Estate Tax is Actually "The Fourth Estate" | finem respice
