Why Is Kara Swisher On CNN Talking About Twitter And Acting Like She's The Expert When She's Not?

Why Is Kara Swisher On CNN Talking About Twitter And Acting Like She's The Expert When She's Not?

Why Is Kara Swisher On CNN Talking About Twitter And Acting Like She's The Expert When She's Not? Ok, my issue with Kara Swisher being on CNN's special about Twitter is that 15 years ago, when I was a blogger both for my Zennie62 Blogger platforms and a vlogger using primarily YouTube, and also a City Brights Blogger on SFGate.com , I saw an article in the Wall Street Journal by Kara about Twitter. In it, Kara Swisher claimed that Twitter was Inane and Simple, a view which I disagreed with and still disagree with today. There are a large number of rules and procedures that one must follow in order to really advance their message. There are techniques that folks have developed with the same objective. I can go on and on, but it's not simple, Twitter. So I wrote a rebuttal to Kara via my City Brights Blog and made a vlog here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LNhY7d5SiU Would you believe Kara not only attacked me for disagreeing with her but said that she did not call Twitter "Inane and Simple" when those words were right there on her own article! Then she contacted then-SFGate Executive Director Kevin Skaggs and tried to get my entire post removed as well as me. So, after that, I was not liking her at all, and believed she was just one of those racists who could not stand that a black guy was in tech media. To date, I think I am right, Then, 9 years ago, Kara wrongly attacked my YouTube History Vlog, and I vlog about that here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Uhid6TgIW0 So, its fair to say I am not a fan of Kara Swisher. She's not a coder or a programmer. She cozies up to tech folks to get stories and in a way that's insufferable. She even called hersefl a kind of baby-sitter to the Twitter managers - which is completely inflating your involvement. But "inflating" describes Kara to a "T". But you got to admit it: the girl works her unwarranted hubris. One of us actually tired to build a Twitter-killer called Telen.Me (like "You're telling me"). But I could not get traction for it. And tech investor and friend Michael Downing showed great interest in it, but also noted the lack of traction. Still, I solved the Twitter ad riddle, and then focused on building what became Zennie62Media, Inc. What has Kara done? Made a living off empty hubris
