32. There is no need to cut the Twitter feed. If you are not interested in following someone

all you have to do is to delete them from your 'follow' list. Twitter, if you use it properly, is an excellent source of information. But it is up to the individual to choose what they are interested in. If you want to know what Lindsey Lohan is up to, you can do that. If you never want to hear her name again, you can do that also.

I follow people like Jeremy Scahill, Matt Taibbi, Anonymous, many of the Occupy groups around the world, (it's amazing what they are doing btw), several news media, Al Jazeera, RT, CNN just to keep up with our propaganda machine, several investigative reporters, many of the Egyptian and Tunisian revolutionaries, Michael Moore and many more people who are actually on the ground in many of the newsworthy parts of the world. Amnesty International, several Civil Liberties groups, Bradley Manning, Wikileaks and several foreign news media outlets. As a result, I get more real news in a day than I would if I watched our own MSM for over a year.

Perhaps the OP did not know that all s/he had to do was to delete anonymous from their list of followers. It's really very simple.
