Do you personally copy POTUS Trump’s “tweets”?

I choose to read one local and one national newspaper for my “news”. I do watch a limited amount of TV ‘news’.

As a RP’er: is the majority of your local and national news delivered via the internet or printed media?

majority of my news is the Early Bird followed by internal collection of stories and then internet news. Do they still sell print news?
I used to follow Trump on Twitter but my phone was always buzzing. I had to turn that off...

Diplomatically... the tweets are hurting the office.

If you're limiting yourself to one source, you're going to miss out on a lot.

Printed media has long since outlived its usefulness when you can access every single relevant one through your computer or phone. When something incorrect is printed, it can't be fixed- when online, it's immediate.

By going using internet sources, you also open yourself up to opposing viewpoints, which is something America is forgetting how to do.

I don't get anything at all from local sources. Haven't for years. I get everything from the radio (NPR only) or over the Internet.

I'm going to go with "Combined", that little bit of everything adds a little bit of depth. As far as the President's tweets I really don't read into them too much. Everyone else is getting up in arms about it and there is so much bigger things to worry about (it's sort of funny how up tight people get about it though).
