🐷 Tweets on Reporters Reporting About Tweeters 🐷

Twitter (along with other social media sites) is increasingly being linked in/embedded from articles posted by large media outlets. Let's take a quick look at which Twitter accounts four media sites amplify.

We analyzed the articles posted by three of RT's official English-language Twitter accounts (@RT_com, @TR_America, and @RTUKNews) from 2018-07-01 until 2019-02-09. Topping the list of Twitter accounts most frequently included in the articles are @realDonaldTrump and @ggreenwald.
For comparison, here are the 40 accounts most frequently featured in articles from MSNBC, Breitbart, and the BBC.
The part of Glenn's tweet mentioning Gabbard is a bit prescient, as checking the articles from the four news sources for discussion of the Democratic presidential hopefuls is indeed on the agenda.
Here are the results of analyzing the frequency with which RT, MSNBC, Breitbart, and BBC articles contain the names (first + last) of seven Democratic primary candidates. As before, interpretation is left as an exercise for the reader.
