Invalid Json output? - Githubissues

I have been using twurl for over a year to run a series of twitter searches. I feed the json output to a json2csv system, and it started complaining about a month ago that the json output is invalid. I've taken the output of a number of searches and fed them into multiple json2csv systems online and they all say invalid json.

Did something happen between Nov 5 & 15th that would have changed this? I updated to the latest version of twurl and that didn't fix it.

I know squat about json, so I can't look at it and see what's wrong. All I know is all the json converters are complaining it's not valid. I'll cut and paste an example below.
