The reason why I hate it, besides the echo, is that it depowers journalism and social media, while empowering the boob tube & it's narrative
@rattlecans by all means, fact-checking any convo is useful, I'm just positing that compulsive TV livetweeting is in favor of TV narratives

@asteris I see that a lot wi UK TV. Also see games arising. Folk tweet piss-take, create satirical versions. Very barbed stuff -
@rattlecans I just see no point in anyone's feed becoming a mirror of TV programming, YMMV. When it happens to me, I just tune out Twitter. -
@asteris Have Greeks ever used twitter to drive the news instead of parrot it? -
@rattlecans you can't do that, mockery doesn't drive news, and you can't really set the agenda unless TV is toying with your movt -
@asteris Mockery doesn't drive the news, no. What it does is tell news people they aren't finding it so easy as they thought. -
@rattlecans that's part of the game and we're all doing it, but as I said, obsessive boob tube tweeting depowers citmedia & journalism
