We’ve hipped you to the tweets of Chris Krewson, the Inquirer’s executive editor of online news, before. Krewson keeps a pretty active Twitter stream, and if you follow him, you’ll find it either sad or ironic how little of the thinking aloud he does actually makes it into the end product — but then again, that’s pretty much the story with almost everybody at Broad & Whatever. We’ve been staring at the tweet posted above for a couple of days now, and it still has us mystified. For the uninitiated, @BreakingNews is MSNBC’s grand Twitter experiment. That’s not what mystifies us. What does is the notion that one of the top dogs at the Inky — which, to be fair, has never been the most profoundly self-aware newspaper — may somehow regard the paper as not being a piece of mainstream media. What? On one hand, sure, we may not regard the Inky as being mainstream, seeing as how it employs the top torture proponent in the land, some talk radio race-baiter, and Lisa Scottoline — but then again, we’re fucking crazy. Like this far away from wearing a tinfoil hat and communing with the spirit animals. But on the other hand, could it possibly be that Krewson regards the Inky as an underdog fighting the good fight for the causes of liberal good? Nah, it couldn’t be. Could it?
