Old IT acronym: PEBKAC. (“Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair”)
Or, “I think it’s a hardware problem – you have a loose nut behind the keyboard.”

Though it was an obvious fail (during the VP debate), moderators are supposed to be impartial.
That tweet was seen as favoritism (it’s the Trump era).

Yea. If you are too drunk to drive? Don’t touch a keyboard. It’s not just a good idea, it’s the law.

So because of this, Scully cannot be impartial as a debate moderator, but ACB CAN be impartial about abortion even though she is a devout member of a religion that considers the procedure to be murder. M-kay.

Has “my Twitter account was hacked” ever been a legit claim? I can’t think of an instance.
Everything Trump Touches Dies.
Including Democracy.

Yet another public/political figure who doesn’t seem to have the slightest clue about how digital communications works.
Isn’t he the guy featured on multiple “And Now…” segments on John’s Oliver’s show, introduced as “The Most Patient Person on Television”, followed by a montage of him politely ending nutty callers-in on C-SPAN? Pretty sure that’s him but too lazy to go confirm it myself.

What is the harm in the original query? Trump called him a “Never Trumper” and he was asking a Trump orbit person if he should respond. There is no error of judgment there.

Do people like him really need to use Twitter? CSpan is a major news purveyor. Twitter is mostly nonsense. Maybe he does need Twitter for his job, who knows.

Seems to me CSpan strives to be above the fray. Getting in the dirt with Scaramucci isn’t that.

Dan Rather got fired for the Bush AWOL story (and replaced by the brother of one of Bush’s business partners!)
I wanna know what’s gonna happen to the NY Post and Fox putzes who ran the Russian disinfo story on Biden, next to which this kerfluffle is a grain of sand in the Sahara.
