Aw, come on, now I want to know what the parody account is. I couldn't find it! I assume Bloomberg... Can someone point to it?

There seems to be a lot of parody going on at the moment.

Twitter is a place where rumor, satire and parady, lies, partial truths, and full truths all get blended together without any objective accountabilty. This should be plainly obvious to anyone who has payed attention over the past decade or so. But for some reason a lot of people still behave as if Twitter is some sort of legitimate source of information (probably mostly due items that confirm a bias). And then these people still act surprised when it proves time and again that it isn't.

Hillary's “I ain’t no-ways tired” of Running For President 2020 account.

Aren't all the candidates running for the nomination parodies?

As long as we're working with parody headlines.....

Hillary Clinton calls suicide hotline to place an order.

I wish I could provide attribution.

Sometimes the entire Democrat Party seems like a parody to me.

The top Google search for Bloomberg parody twitter account is for Miguel Bloombito.

There is a fake Mike Bloomberg twitter account that is pretty funny.

There is also one that mocks his bad Spanish. That one's been going on for years.

Tell Hillary to stop making parody Twitter accounts of Nate Silver!

You misspelled MSM

Oh, wait...my bad. You included full truths

"Babylon Bee?"

No, it's a parody twitter account. I assume the name seems like the name of the person who is almost a candidate. I presume it's Bloomberg (or it could be Deval Patrick). Bloomberg has more comic potential. Who would want to be a fake Deval Patrick and try to be funny?

Ann Althouse said...

"Hillary's “I ain’t no-ways tired” of Running For President 2020 account."

Oh, yeah, it could be Hillary.

I should have thought of that since I picked her as the nominee quite a while ago. I was half trying to be funny, but I kinda meant it.

Twitter should have the tag line 'For Entertainment Purposes Only'.

Deval Patrick's campaign guru was David Axelrod. Just sayin'.

Once Obama was accused of lifting from Patrick's speeches, or, more properly, recycling Axelrod's talking points.

I'm not 100% sure that's satire.

Now, if you want some unintentional parody, you can't beat this headline from Red State.
