I would also say that a Twitter post is not news, but unfortunately a lot of politicians have not gotten that notice yet.
It's more nuanced than that. A tweet can be news:

But a story we're going to have enough to discuss is going to need to wait a bit.
Also, I've seen a lot of tweets with links to relevant news where the reaction before the link is the news or the link requires the context provided by the tweet to make any sense.
