I guess this was inevitable in the end, it must have come to this, but I just find what twitter did so silly. At least if they'd have used some sort of impartial looking fact checker, or an independent panel, or something, as facebook is doing, perhaps they would have prolonged this for longer.
But calling CNN a fact checker on the president is so inherently stupid, it's asking for trouble. And of course CNN couldn't get their facts right either, so they are blatantly just representing the other side and not "facts".

Twitter really could have done a better job here.
