You’re right myrnatheminx, however, I didn’t put these in meaning to request them to be retweeted—rather I just copy and pasted them as a collection of news items.
I probably should not designate it as an “RT”, but I wanted to let a reader know where the tweet came from. From now on I’ll use “via” as a designation, as in:
