    The article is largely good quality but what even is this:

    “We couldn’t destroy the Taliban, but office work destroyed the Taliban,” said one Tiktoker, reviewing articles and quotes from the report.

    It doesn’t even name the person. Just cherry picked some random quip from social media and pasted it into the body.

      I’ve been hating this since Twitter became a thing. I used to read BBC news articles for (seemingly) good quality reporting, and then they started quoting random twitter users. Like, who gives a fuck?
