The difference between Mensch and an actual news source...

2. What ever she is

It's not a journalist nor do I think she presents herself as such. She doesn't work for a news outlet nor posses a degree in journalism. As for her sources, she does have sources in British government that she made when an MP. As with any other information source, her tweets gain deserved credibility when corroborated by other sources and do not when not. I don't consider her a "news" source but rather an occasional informant as far as Russia-gate is concerned. I don't care about much of anything else she has to say.

What I find most fascinating about Mensch is her ability, seemingly without even trying, to raise the ire of people who then expend all sorts of energy and time to comment, ridicule and criticize her often accompanied by dire warnings not to believe anything coming from her. She must be relishing the power she has over these people.
