Finance twitter takes an ugly turn.
Notoriously combative Fox Business correspondent Charles Gasparino took to finance Twitter today to blast multiple reporters over the quality of their reporting, insult their publications, and slam their intelligence levels.
The fight started when Gasparino tweeted he heard a rumor that century-old trade publication The Bond Buyer was closing, which turned out to be just that — a rumor. Others on Twitter criticized him for posting that without checking, which Gasparino didn't take kindly to, to put it lightly.
This isn't the first time Gasparino has sparred with fellow journalists on Twitter. But throughout the course of today's tirade, the prickly Wall Street Journal and New York Post alum certainly dialed up the intensity to new levels. Notably, his increasingly erratic tweets were peppered with misspellings and abbreviations such as "u" and "ur" that are native to the now largely extinct AOL Instant Messenger.
