    It also says "in their own words" not "in their own word".

    Maybe it’s like that improv comedy exercise where each person says a word in turn

    This happens frequently with news articles about the economy. The journo will use anecdotes rather than data. Vibes before facts helps Republicans and conservatives because their ideas about how to have a robust economy have proven to be inferior to Democrats’ and liberals’ ideas.

    But yeah, why list 4 companies’ earnings calls rather than look up government stats. The latter is easier anyway since it takes 1 google search and not 4. My view is that journos prefer “balance” over accuracy.

    When my wife & I binge-watched the American "The Office", we butted heads a bit over Pam vs Karen. As in--I had the hots for Jenna Fischer, while she insisted Rashida Jones is far more attractive. It was our "Ginger vs Mary Ann" debate.

    Pam’s personality on that show was very, very winning. The showrunners made a good choice when they made Karen a cool person too.

    But let’s face it…Jones was also a model and she’s in all kinds of advertisements for beauty products. Pam vs. Karen is one debate, but Jones vs. Fischer is no contest baby! An NCer!

    I didn't watch the show at first (we got into it later on, binge-watched up to that point, and then kinda lost interest--not sure I've ever watched much of the last season) so I first discovered Fischer when I took our young son to see Blades of Glory, and she was peak Dawn Wells-esque "girl-next-door" hot in that movie. So I was already a partisan by the time we watched the show.

    in apocryphal Office texts, Pam dropped out of the college where my wife and I teach before she went to work at Dunder* Mifflin

    *Because I don’t let apple geo-locate my iPad, I had to overrule autocorrect’s attempt to write “Dundee,” and when that failed, it went with “sunder.” I assume that if it knew I was in Scranton, it would get it right.

    Next to elected Republicans, there's nobody in public life I have more contempt for than the political media in this country. What a useless collection of smug, myopic, amoral cowards. Whatever they're teaching in journalism school ain't what we need.

    The only possible way to make it worse would be to post it on CNN+ app…

    Maybe this belongs in the democracy health thread? It isn't media bias, but it is certainly media decay of the type that makes bias more possible/common.

    This got all the way to my screen apparently without anyone knowing that they are not a couple and Vanna is not Maggie's mother. Multiple people got paid to not know something quite obvious. Makes me crazy wondering what more significant things are being misreported...

    From "People" Magazine:

    Vanna White and Pat Sajak's Daughter Take Viewers Behind the “Wheel of Fortune” Game Board Ahead of Pat's Retirement

    "Vanna White and Pat Sajak’s daughter Maggie Sajak are giving fans a glimpse of what really goes on behind the Wheel of Fortune game board."

    Wait… did two people, Vanna AND the daughter, conduct the tour? That’s how it reads to me.
