Specifically to piss you off. And sort the mindless NPCs from the serious posters.
I think its funny that you can't answer the question. Why wrap everything in tweets?

The information shared is an NBC clip. It has nothing to do with the twitter account. You're free to dismiss it or view it, but it's relevant information to the topic at hand being shared freely to cut through the noise.
We're in a (dis)information war. Learning how to hone your own individual discernment is the only way to survive it. That means reading everything, from all sources, and holding them up to one another to see what's what. And the track record of the MSM or "reputable" media outlets on this very story the past three years has been nothing short of criminal.
Then why wrap the link in the tweet if it has nothing to do with the clip?

When you lose Rolling Stone ... you've lost your control of the narrative.
See example #2, Why not just link to the article?

True indeed. Ball is in Barr's court. Money is long against it, but I'm still quite confident it's coming.
Examples like this represent a confusing trend, a link to a tweet from someone like "RNC Research" (I can't imagine why anyone would suspect them of bias), that links to a YouTube video from NBC... but is not actually on NBC's channel, but on a different channel called "GOP War Room"?
Are you oblivious to how this appears to anyone who is interested in hearing your message at face value? You say you are citing the source material but you're three levels deep here. -

No thanks.
but I guess that I would like address your 'opinion' on regurgitated articles being posted.................since that is a common complaint from the blinders wearing, "don't attack my beliefs" posters on PPP
I search dozens of sites most days, which includes hundreds of authors. The complaint from the lib posters here is that they are almost exclusively Conservative.
Well..........that's kind of the point.
The conservative thoughts and responses are very seldom even seen by the leftists here and if they read even one..........that is a good thing.
I will leave it to the others to do that back and force challenging thing. I'm 65, there is very little chance that I am going to be upset or intimidated by anything on a Bills message board.
But, there is occasionally something written here by one of our (higher level) libs that I don't know, and that is always interesting.
.
I appreciate the idea of being exposed to contrarian ideas, as I agree that sometimes we live in our own echo chambers. I think its a mature state of mind to be open to having your mind changed.
Everyone needs an alternative point of view - but I think we can do better than posting propaganda from either side. I would be just as frustrated if there was someone in here drowning out dissent spamming links from CNN's twitter. -

Gosh............that sounds familiar.
I'd be happy to hop on discord or something if you're interested. I don't know why your first inclination is I am the same person as someone else?
Or - I'll DM you my phone number and we can chat.

Years were spent writing thoughtful responses, backed by undisputed evidence. Years.
This is the end game. No more time for hand holding. Time for people to do their own work. The links provided more often than not contain primary source documentation which you can read and vet for yourself.
I just think this might not be the place for the "end game", you might choose a medium that suits your style of screaming into the void - like twitter. https://twitter.com/derangedrhino

ummm... multiple, different trains of thought are what comprise a thread. bringing in information only helps that discourse to be not only informed but lively. i am going to assume you can follow more than one train of thought at a time due to your being, 'a long time lurker'.
Anyone can post links to external sources, they are a dime a dozen and can be chosen to support any view point. The value of the discussion is people spending time crafting thoughtful responses with the intent to gain genuine understanding. I do not think I am alone in the view that these threads can be more of a source of discussion than a place to see regurgitated content.

I don't think its unfair to request the OP's original intent for the thread that he created. I happened to agree with the sentiment that a more fruitful discussion can be had if the thread is not bombarded by commentary at a rate that seems to discourage continuity of ideas and thoughts.
-
Long time lurker, first time poster - it seems painfully obvious that the collective cannot honor @BillsFanNC's request to avoid link spamming, and to provide some original analysis or commentary of the document.
I appreciate that other folks have insights - but if people wanted to put their mouths on the Twitter fire hose they could go directly to Twitter.

You are obviously a smart man, and should be able to acknowledge that any 'context' you think you're adding by wrapping them in tweets from 'RNC Research' is not context at all and at best commentary - at worst lies. I think it is disingenuous to make people look through your keyhole at the news you cite. It is all of our responsibilities to do our best to make the truth as easy as possible to see.
I find your obsession with truth to be in conflict with the manner in which you share your resources. I just hope it is not intentional.
