Twitter Hack: Who To Follow For Election Coverage
The Horizon Tracker

This election cycle is unlike any seen before, so even if this isn't your first election you've lived through, you probably need some extra explaining due to the absurd nature of it all. With reality TV-like twists on news stories, some of the media's best journalists can help guide you through it all, with humor when you need it. Whether you're left, right, undecided or don't care, the following personalities and journalists will help you to care and find your way to a decision before you vote next month.

Chuck Todd (@Chucktodd)

The moderator of NBC's 'Meet The Press' has great insights to the election. He retweets some of NBC's best coverage of the election, as well as other non-political news stories. He tries to remain unbiased and shows how hard covering this election can be, with a good sense of humor and perspective.

Brian Stelter (@brianstelter)

The host of CNN's 'Reliable Source's' knows how to utilize Twitter and seems to tweet more than he sleeps. He is more relatable for younger twitter users and retweets some of the best journalists in the field. He also has a Re newsletter that recaps the best news you may not know about from a journalist's perspective.

Jay Rosen (@jayrosen_nyu)

A journalism professor at New York Univeristy, his twitter bio reads, "critique the press," which is exactly what he does. He looks into how the press gives bias too often during this election cycle and how absurd some of the stories are. After the first debate, he has fiercely been showing how "phony" the online polls news sites have been doing are, while they act like they are actual poll numbers.

Nate Silver (@NateSilver538)

Polticial polls are confusing and weird. Some many organizations put out different polls that it can be hard to dicipher the staticitcal information constantly in front of you. Let Nate Silver, editor at FiveThirtyEight guide you through the confusing world of election polls and survery's. You'll be better informed and might actually know what people are talking about after.

Politico (@politico)

This poltical news magazine and website tries to give both sides their equal say. They are also wholly committed to reporting all angles of this election cycle. If you're only going to follow one of these accounts, this is who you should follow. They will make you better informed to make a better decision come November.

Chrissy Teigen (@chrissytiegen)

How can you not love her? The model has been one of the most hilarious celebrity tweeter's since she live-tweeted her journey down the Oscar's red carpet. She says what you're thinking nine times of out ten. Her brutal honesty and sometimes drunken thoughts will give you life during the next debates. She also really wants Clinton to sink to Trumps level.

Andy Cohen (@Andy)

The man behind the 'Real Housewives' treats the debates like the live recap shows. Which makes a lot of sense when you think about it, since its only a matter of time until Trump's toupe gets pulled off and someone knocks the podium down in anger. His comic relifef is needed when your realize how nervous you are for the country's future.

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
