Agree. This demonstrates the political direction that Twitter is moving towards. When I was more naive I used to believe that papers reported the news - now I realize that they apply their political bias to spin news. This has now happened with Twitter.

Newspeak is happening before our eyes but not in the direct way Orwell imagined.

Papers never reported the news. They exist to create the news.
