Twitter Beats Main Stream Media to Reports of Britney Spears Demise

Author: People Are Rapidly Tuning Out Cable News for Twitter when it Comes to Breaking News Reports
Twitter Users were among the first people to share and see reports of the death of Britney Spears. Reports were filtering in through Twitter that Spears had passed away from an apparent overdose. Meanwhile cable news channels such as MSNBC and CNN continued to run reports about Michelle Obama’s clothing and the Presidential visit with Queen Elizabeth.
The death of Spears as reported on Twitter marks another episode in news, much like the plane that landed in the Husdon River where people standing near an event are better able to share details than any news organization in the world.
Spears was found catatonic in a restroom within the famous restaurant Genghis Cohn in Los Angeles. Patrons eating lunch were witnessed snapping pictures of paramedics removing Spears on stretchers. They did not appear to attempt any resuscitation while moving her out through the main restaurant.
Several people also uploaded images of what appeared to be lines of cocaine on the restroom counter.
There has been no official word from officials in Los Angeles nor from Spears family.

Well, I use Twitter, but I didn’t know about Brit’s death until I read this post. I suppose it really depends on whom you’re following. I follow E!Online, and they haven’t written anything about it yet.
E!Online is really a useless website these days. The recession has forced them to layoff 70% of their paparazzi types(who have generally either taken jobs with TMZ, started to run their own blogs, or found themselves incarcerated for stalking). You can’t even find any mention of OJ Simpson’s prison suicide 19 days after they found his body on E!Online.
Time to dump them like yesterday’s news.
