I do care if religious doctrine becomes an excuse to exclude my fellow citizens from the rights and protections our country promises.

My view of social media is that it is a set of tools, not a religion.

Whether or not Twitter makes you stupid, it certainly makes some smart people sound stupid.

There is something decidedly faux about the camaraderie of Facebook, something illusory about the connectedness of Twitter.

You don't want to go around willy-nilly suing news organizations. That's probably self-defeating.

I think there's a misconception that I'm opposed to social media.

Twitter and Facebook are brilliant- tools, the journalistic uses of which are still being plumbed. They are great for disseminating interesting material. They are useful for gathering information, including from places that are inaccessible.
