Former Newsweek/Daily Beast TV "except for CNN" Critic Howard Kurtz has gone eerily ​silent on Twitter.

Kurtz was fired....ummmm....parted ways with the Daily Beast after catching a lot of flack for the mistakes he made on the NBA player Jason Collins story.​

Kurtz appeared last Sunday on his ​CNN show ironically named Reliable Sources to apologize for his awful reporting and since that day he hasn't tweeted even once.

Kurtz who had been Tweeting almost non-stop and using the social media site to pimp his "friend's" website the Daily Download, has been quiet on Twitter all week. ​

Looking back it appears to be the longest amount of time that Kurtz has ever gone without tweeting since he joined the social media network.​

Here is the last tweet he sent out: ​
