The Oops File
We all make mistakes. I make mistakes every day during lengthy broadcasts. Sometimes one doesn't hear their own misstatement or mangled words. With that in mind, here is my ongoing collection of apology tweets from people who've misspoken and had to circle back to correct the record. Iβve realized my comments on risks around opening schools have confused and upset people, which was never my intention. I misspoke. pic.twitter.com/Kq1utwiCjR— Dr. Mehmet Oz (@DrOz) April 16, 2020 Dr. Drew is a snake oil salesman. Really terrible stuff here. What a disgrace. pic.twitter.com/Eh35Ky8yVO— Yashar Ali π (@yashar) April 4, 2020
The USED TO BE COOL file: David Byrne
David Byrne. Performance artist. Too hip for this planet back in the early 80s. How is he today? Still pretty fond of himself.
Media vs Trump jumps new shark, Orange Man assumes he is King of USA
Oh look! Time for another presidential press conference! Because the media won't acknowledge it themselves, Trump just showed a video laying out the timeline of his administration's action on coronavirus and made the media sit through it in the briefing, watching their own networks' words.Savage. pic.twitter.com/03ND2iahOK— Caleb Hull (@CalebJHull) April 13, 2020 At his daily combative press briefing to address COVID-19 issues, President Donald Trump played video clips highlighting media voices that affirm his coronavirus response timeline claims. It was an unusual pushback against the daily hostility media and Trump sling at each other. pic.twitter.com/6fEymjTjUM— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 14, 2020 Fascinating theater. As expected, the media was not pleased. CNN called Trump's truth reel propaganda even though it contained their

Vulgar, vicious, violent dirtbags preparing for four more years of Trump as president, find some ear plugs and an eye mask, media still caught in partisan trap
America's worst week ever is at our doorstep but partisans can't see the big picture. They'd rather snipe about the cockwomble POTUS and whatever today's covfefe miscue might be. Here's the real story. A pandemic is about to kill more people than the U.S. has seen to date and it uniformly affects people of all races, creeds, religions, ethnicities, atheists, and political persuasions. So much mainstream media and social media is focused on the faults of President Donald Trump that the overriding message of STAY HOME OR SPREAD DEATH is lost on petty partisan people. Give it a rest, nutballs. We are in a global struggle to SAVE THE WORLD, not worry about whether Trump misspelled something in a tweet.
ACCUSATORY MEDIA – Never mind the pandemic. Let’s hashtag!
Keen analysis from β¦@MZHemingwayβ©. β¦@Yamicheβ© is clearly an activist masquerading as a journalist, e.g. when she tried to connect American nationalism to racism.Itβs appalling that taxpayers fund part of her salary.https://t.co/JwfXQiJPJr https://t.co/D5oI46f788— Steve Cortes (@CortesSteve) April 2, 2020 The codependency of an adversarial media vs. a narcissistic president produces skewed news. This is a glowing example of how our media business has crashed and burned. As comedian Jon Stewart pointed out years ago, media egos took the bait and no straight reporting has been produced since.
