Via Getty meaning explained: Twitter duped by ‘Podium Guy’ name confusion
Following on from the latest series of events at the US Capitol, Twitter was confused by the meaning of ‘Via Getty’. Unsurprisingly, memes ensued.
In a bid to document the unfolding of events over recent days, CNN political correspondent Ryan Lizza tweeted a viral image of an individual involved with the captions: “Via Getty, one of the rioters steals the podium from the Capitol,”
The tweet soon set Twitter alight, but some people were left slightly confused by the sentence.
