What is the purpose of @TwitterVerified? I qualify on several of these but they refuse to acknowledge it. I guarantee for my geographic location my follower count is high. I have more followers than the former mayor and the current sheriff of Rochester

I have twice the followers of local reporter Adam Chodak. Theresa Marsenburg has 655 followers but she has a blue check. Lots more than Amal and Natalie too. These people do the same type of work I do except I'm national. But if we're going by geographical location...

.@TwitterVerified claims that geographical location matters. Let's look at more journalists/entertainers/notables in Rochester. @ToddHallidy deserves a blue check and a lot more followers btw. Follow him. He's awesome. What a voice. So smooth, like butter.

OMG I have twice the following of Dr. Mike Mendoza, the health czar of Rochester. This was THE DUDE making covid restrictions. I have twice his reach.

Jennifer Lewke has a similar job to mine here in the Rochester area. She got an Emmy, I got a Happy Frog. Potato, potahto.

CHIEF meteorologist dude has half my following. No shade on any of these folks btw...just pointing out the facts to @TwitterVerified that keeps saying I'm not "notable." But Eric is.

Berkeley Bean, fewer followers than me. Same geographical location. Same job.

The damn District Attorney for Rochester has a fraction of my followers (no blue check though. She should have one.)

I'm dwarfing a local politician Joe Morelle.

But let's look at radio since a lot of what I do is broadcasting.

.@BobLonsberry is great. We have a similar Twitter following. He deserves a blue check too. Maybe he hasn't applied. I'm sure they'd give it to him.

.@LarrySharpe is the most popular guy on this list on Twitter. He's great btw. Love him. Glad to see Twitter verified him.

The point of all this is that if @TwitterVerified applies its rules equally there's no reason I should be denied verification. I not only qualify based on geographic location BUT papers of record have written about me and @PJMedia_com multiple times, I work for a media company

And that media company is a publicly traded media conglomerate with a network of radio stations and publications across this country. They're not verified on Twitter either. @SalemMediaGrp It's absurd. Why the discrimination?

Further, I use my real name. I'm a journalist breaking stories that have been picked up by @TuckerCarlson @JesseBWatters @washingtonpost @RollingStone @FoxNews @nypost @glennbeck @AnnCoulter @chicagotribune @michellemalkin @DRUDGE #RushLimbaugh and even @nbcsnl.

If I'm not "notable" then why are all those publications and notable people writing about my stories? @TwitterVerified doesn't apply the rules equally @elonmusk. I enjoy the idiocy of it, don't get me wrong. I'm happy to continue to be an example of the extreme bias of the Twits.
