"A broken clock is right twice per day" has always been one of my favorite sayings.

However, with the advent of social media, I have become aware that, among the people who are broken clocks, there are variations.

I like to place these people into two categories: broken clocks with minute hands and broken clocks with second hands.

A broken clock with only a minute hand will be right for a total of two minutes per day and wrong for the remaining 1438. This would represent the people who consistently link to Salon or Breitbart.

A broken clock with a second hand will only be right for two seconds each day and wrong for the remaining 86,398. This would represent the people who consistently link to Addicting Info and World Truth TV.
