Do You Get Your News From Twitter?

On a recent episode of The View, funnywoman Sherri Shepherd kept referring back to various news stories that she read on Twitter discussed with other tweeters in the twitterverse. Now I must admit, I'm guilty of heading straight to my Twitter page when I hear breaking news stories (especially when I heard about Michael Jackson's passing and then about Patrick Swayze on Monday — so sad), just to see if something is legitimately true. We already know that Whoopi steers clear of Twitter, but would you say you're a Twitter-news junkie like Sherri?
