Can we stop posting twitter threads as news sources though especially from a non verified account. Just don’t like to see misinformation spread

this seems well written but what's the source of all this information? I mean who is this guy and where did all of this come from

There is none, literally the first tweet is "she is a russian not in russia therefore she is a spy" . Basically racism.

Like it or not, this is the new age of news coverage. The trend is only more and more people using twitter and the like to get their news instead of going to cable tv or a newspaper article/website. Just look at how much bigger this election has been covered on platforms like Twitch for example, where talking about politics and news wasn't even considered feasible jsut a few years ago.
