I don't mind a bit of a chat.
I do mind when someone states something is a fact, especially when their source is twitter.
Namsnanny I always do a Google search for evidence and in this instance no combination of words produced the video you are writing about. It does seem a bit odd that someone would bother to make a speech and be filmed but not make sure the film had the widest distribution on social media.
There's a lot of fake news and information on twitter.
I don't mind people quoting Twitter if there is a link or if we can see an original video. Then readers can make their own minds up. I do think people are quick to believe things that reinforce their own prejudices though, and don't necessarily apply critical thought to things, so I'm reluctant to believe anything without a provenance.
