Trumplings triggered by NPR's July 4 tweets of the Declaration of Independence

So when they were reading the document out all those years, was the “whole point of the exercise” also to “sully the document”?

Or is it more likely that they decided to jump on the “new media” bandwagon and thought tweeting it would be a modern and relevant way to get the info across to “da yoof”?

I can entirely respect your argument that twitter is not an appropriate medium to convey that sort of information. Hell, I can’t imagine doing anything in 150 characters which is why I stay off twitter.

I don’t see how you go from ‘it’s not a great medium’ to ‘they intended to demean the DoI’.
