Today in McKay Coppins’s tweets
Jack Shafer says it’s ok to cover Donald Trump incessantly so here we go again. At a rally in Las Vegas last night, increasingly violent and deranged supporters of the luxuriously healthy demagogue yelled things like “light the motherfucker on fire” and “Sieg heil” as protesters were dragged out by either security thugs or just regular freelance thugs. Gawker‘s ace political newshound Sam Biddle broke the story, reporting on McKay Coppins‘s tweets. BuzzFeed was beaten to the scoop but managed to file 20 minutes later, with Michelle Broder Van Dyke reporting on McKay Coppins‘s tweets. Mic‘s Luke Brinker followed up this morning, reporting on McKay Coppins‘s tweets. And even those weary dinosaurs of print and TV managed to get in on the story, with the LA Times‘s Kurtis Lee and NBC‘s Benjy Sarlin somehow reporting on their own tweets, which is obviously why legacy media is losing.
