Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Washington Post Interviews Clay Travis With An Incoherent Series Of Tween-Speak Questions [Buck Throckmorton]Clay Travis of “Outkick The Coverage” was approached by the Washington Post to do an interview. The WaPo wanted to do a hit job on him because Clay is a rogue sports journalist who has angered the mainstream media for being anti-PC, and for mocking the left-wing herd mentality of sports journalists. In so doing he has built a huge following and a nice little sports empire. Clay acknowledged to his readers that it was going to be a hit job, so in expectation of the upcoming slander, he recorded the whole interview. At his own web site, Clay points out that of the 2300 words in the story, exactly 94 were words alleged to have been spoken by him, but even those included one “quote” that he never said. The WaPo quoted Clay as saying “I have a lot of fans in the White House” but that quote is no where in the transcript of the actual interview. The WaPo made it up, but of course we expect them to engage in fraud. That is who they are and that is what journalism is nowadays. The false pretense of the hit piece and the journalistic fraud are not the worst part of the interview however. What is truly awful is that the journalist conducting the interview speaks a form of English that might best be described as “California Tween.” There’s really no reason to mock this journalist working for one of the nation’s most elite newspapers – his questions are self-mocking. These are real questions asked in a high profile interview by a journalist at the Washington Post:So I guess before sort of like as we start, so you, I don’t like it’s totally your prerogative to record it. I’m just like, are you planning to then release it or what? Are you like in regular contact with the White House Press Office at this point? Jason Whitlock, speaking to Front Office Sports, described it as like, we’re gonna treat sports as like, you know, this masculine endeavor, that other places don’t. Is that right? And what is the sort of ethos of the site or sort of what is the audience for? Well, so bring in other sports sites, is it you know, going for, you know, the same audience what is, you know, sort of? Yeah. Pretty, you know, out front on the NBA in China, I guess they think that there are people who wonder both about, I guess I’d put you in the category. But also, you know, some Republicans have been very critical of the NBA but perhaps not of President Trump for you know, his friendship with China. You know that he wasn’t going to press them on, you know, concentration camps because, you know, he’s working on a trade deal. I guess I would say sort of right. Like when you think of sort of Republicans, I, you know, I have asked some people about the site and I think that there are, you know, are people who view it, you know, you’ve said, anybody on it, you know, there’s people who view it, you know, can this be the Fox News of sports? And I think somebody, you know, mentioned to me that it’s, you know, become Trump propaganda, essentially. And I guess that’s sort of what I’m asking about. I feel like you’re more like, at least lately, like since the relaunch it’s been more politics that the site has been known for.A common joke among conservatives is that despite the “layers and layer of editors” at newspapers, they still allow so much journalistic malpractice to get published. Reading these incoherent interview questions, it’s evident that newspaper editors are overwhelmed just trying to get the childish scribblings of their journalists to resemble some form of adult English. Asking them to also edit for accuracy would be too much. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

If you check, nearly all of the editors, as in the people who simply do line by line editing, were fired about a decade ago. That's why nearly every single story published online has at least a few egregious grammatical errors.

I'd heard this story but not read the questions. It's name calling - you are obviously not one of the herd so we want to cancel you as a "Trump supporter".
It's an interesting defense of the NBA to say we won't criticize China's human rights abused for profit for a few millionaires but if Trump strategically negotiates a trade deal before pointing it out that's just no way to properly prioritize anything.

It sounds as if the journalist could not write more than two sentences without the word "like". I have to say that I have noticed more women using this than men. However, since the journalist was male I guess that young-ish men use it also.

Is it "fewer communications skills" or "less communication skills"? In this instance, "skills" seems to be a collective noun -- you either have skills or no skills, but not fewer skills (though your skillin' may be illin').

Reading these incoherent interview questions, it's evident that newspaper editors are overwhelmed just trying to get the childish scribblings of their journalists to resemble some form of adult English. Asking them to also edit for accuracy would be too much.
Maybe it's that the editors assign the story with a built in point of view, so it doesn't really matter what's asked, because the narrative is already established. Maybe the story is pretty much written before the interview? Maybe it's easier to do this with a young, dumb staff of writers than experienced ones who would be insulted and/or resistant to this heavy-handed narrative shaping?

The only college with stupider people and lower real GPA's than education is journalism.
They give them lots of easy A courses. True story: Had to get some filler credits to graduate, they gave me some in education and some in journalism-- mind you, this was near 20 years ago--a sixth-grader would have no problems with those university-level courses.

Back in a college English class we were blessed with a young lass who, you know, always, you know, had to, like, repeatedly, you know, punctuate her, you know, statements, like, with, you know, the phrase "you know", you know. And every time she said "you know" the instructer (I think unconsciously) responded "mmm hmmm". Of course this young lass always had something to say so we were treated to an interminable string of "you know" - "mmm hmmm".
My buddy and I got to keeping a "you know" and "mmm hmmm" count (the numbers didn't always match). The cap to all came one day when, after a lengthy "you know" - "mmm hmmm" diatribe, another student responded and commenced his response with "Well, I don't know but..." at which point my buddy and I lost it. To this day, I'm sure the instructor has no idea why we were rolling in the aisle. Posted by: LCMS Rulz! at September 08, 2020 05:33 PM (17+9D) 291

It used to be that, even though politicians and other public figures couldn't sue for slander, editors made sure journalists quoted someone SAYING that so-and-so was a racist. They didn't jump in and take sides, except for op-ed pieces. Now every "hard news" story can turn into an editorial in mid-paragraph. Posted by: NaughtyPine at September 08, 2020 05:34 PM (/+bwe) 297

270 Whoever told you that was how things worked was
lying to you. There is no equivalent to the media for much of history, most ye olde historians got their accounts by going to a place and talking to people(not necessarily firsthand witnesses for that matter) or reading other accounts. Posted by: Someguy at September 08, 2020 05:22 PM (Zm+LZ) ++++ When I was a Brownie our troop leader had us sit in a wide circle and play "telephone." A whispered statement was given to the first girl and she whispered what she heard to the next, and on it went around the circle. The last girl had to say out loud what were the original words. So out of whack, so far off, so completely distorted and wrong. And we laughed. Posted by: washrivergal at September 08, 2020 05:30 PM (66BnU) Which is essentially how modern historians justify extensive rewriting. Problem is we're not really in much position to guess about the truth either. It is more common than not these days to reject much of the accounts of contemporary historians except in the broadest of strokes. Posted by: Someguy at September 08, 2020 05:35 PM (Zm+LZ) 306

My father, a broadcast executive who developed the working model for CNN in the 70s and hired the pre-Fox Roger Ailes, was smeared by Sherman in similar ways. He tried to make my father out to be some right-wing zealot.

He relates it to affability and his Catholic faith-so that latter might appeal to you if you are the original Boulder poster. Mr McGinley also has a book called "The Prodigal Church-Restoring Catholic Tradition in an age of Deception." Best regards. Posted by: FenelonSpoke at September 08, 2020 05:51 PM (WkPC9) 396
It's amazing that this country has been horribly racist since its inception, but that horrible racism was only discovered in the last three months.

Ok process of elimination: who did not come forward on the Trump team to say the vet story was BS?
They keep logs of who attends meetings, no? Posted by: Regular joe at September 08, 2020 05:52 PM (L9P9s) 399
I think I've cried about three times as an adult but I'm one of those that tears up at phone company commercials and surprise family/soldier reunions.

"sort of" entered the lexicon with ESL speakers who were not sure of their words: "I feel sort of elated". A cop out to desensitize the listener and make them feel OK with what was said, even if word choice not perfect.
It's now used constantly by English speakers in the same cop out way. Dishonest at best. Posted by: Scottst at September 08, 2020 05:55 PM (bnHvS) 403

@284 Not to GTA levels, but look up NFL Blitz some time.

Time was when I was told by my parents that if I read the newspaper (I did at a young age, and not just the comics), it would help me read better, because the newspapers had editors and reporters that truly knew the English language inside and out. Indeed, I remember watching various news programs at a young age and saying to myself "That's what I got to sound like" (meaning polished, articulate, and at least act and sound like I knew what I was talking about).
Then I read this and I see how far the mighty have fallen. There's no way I'd use the media in this country for even an example of proper English usage. Posted by: Catch Thirty-Thr33 at September 08, 2020 06:33 PM (SSJSf) 407
...and this shoddy English is not limited to the WaPo. If you want real embarrassment, check out the KTRH AM 740 (Houston) FB page. Editing there is nonexistent. The news story they posted announcing the death of Wilford "Diabeetus" Brimley is rife with basic English and spelling errors that were beaten out of me (literally and figuratively) by the time I was in second grade.

I remember back in high school we were giving presentations in History class, another student and I sat there marking down the buffet of times the girl presenting said "ummm like," it as over 150 before the teacher noticed us, started giggling then told us to stop before she saw it. This girl was accepted to Columbia, and it sure as hell wasn't for her intelligence.
