Sorry what's strange about the choice of words "Sweeney wrote on social media"?

Kind of the same thing as "it was reported in a newspaper." It would normally be expected of a journalist to cite the specific source if they can.

Journalists love to be vague about sources so you don't go to the source.

Sure, there's a lot of that around, but I wouldn't call it journalism. Clickbait maybe.

Clearly not the case here, since there's a link.

I mean, they also didn't say "Sweeney wrote (using his Logitech keyboard) on X". The link is right there, I don't see why it matters.
