This newspaper didn't even have reach outside US, are you seriously comparing it to fucking twitter?


Yes. There's a huge portion of humanity who doesn't read Twitter. Newspapers in their heyday were more influential on public discourse.


If you buy a phone in any place of this planet and then go to its app marketplace, you will likely see twitter as one of the most popular apps on it. I cannot seriously continue this conversation with someone who considers that to be same as some local city newspaper no one seen.
