For the first time in over two decades, legendary Chicago baseball journalist Bruce Levine isn’t hosting his famous Saturday morning radio show because of an epic Twitter fail. His perplexing mistake raises questions about his future in the industry, but should he lose his job simply for being terrible at social media?

I’m not on Twitter, so I can’t pretend to know what the intrigue is; but if you have a legitimate forum i.e. a baseball journalist with access to many heads through the printed word…why in the fuck would you care about Twitter?
Twitter’s appeal to journalists is it’s a simple and cost-free way to immediately convey news, thoughts, and opinions to a large audience in real-time without an obtrusive corporate media filter. Unfortunately for Bruce, he really needed that obtrusive corporate media filter.
