I could put this in the pet peeve thread, but it seems to be getting so bad lately that I decided to give it its own thread....
What peeves me is that it seems that reporters have started this trend when writing a story to add tweets about the subject to add flavor to their article... but it seems to be getting worse...
I recently wanted to read an article but about 90% of the 'article' were just tweets of what people thought about the subject and very little from the reporter.... I almost always skip the tweets and just read what the reporter is saying, but with some it is really hard to actually follow the flow....
The other thing is that many of these the reporter actually quotes the tweet and then actually puts the tweet after the quote so it is there twice!!!
Come on people, take a little pride in your work and actually do some!!!
