    Beating Back the Twitter-Mad Media

    After microblogging a bank robbery, Annemarie Dooling discovered her real enemy was the news media; Penelope Trunk fact-checked her former client, Time Inc. and a New Republic writer afflicted the comfortable... in a bar. The Twitterati weren't having it.





    Annemarie Dooling, who was collected enough to tweet a bank robbery, found her nerves were no match for the press.





    Eve Fairbanks of the New Republic found plagiarism in the darnedest place.





    Penelope Trunk, the advice columnist, told the shameful truth about her little hometown.





    MSNBC Web maven Will Femia could hardly believe his ears.





    Arianna Huffington finally got around to linking that column on the power of rapid communication.



    Did you witness the media elite tweet something indiscreet? Please email us your favorite tweets - or send us more Twitter usernames.
