That was an error, a dumb, stupid error.
The next day, the bus service in the mall and the city of Buffalo called the paper very angrily, demanded a correction, which they got the next day in a very prominent place.
And I was pulled in by my editor and given a dressing down that I remember to this day, right?
I mean, basically I was told I was this close to being fired.
That's how seriously the paper took the commitment to accuracy in its pages.
Now, Matt would have you believe that those two principles are no longer a part of the brief of the mainstream media.
I would like to say to him, that's completely false.
He is so far removed from the mainstream media that I think he has a naive view about what goes on inside those institutions.
They remain committed to a professional set of ideals that they have held for decades.
Story number two.
I was on a British podcast this summer, very much a media platform that is not part of the mainstream media.
And it was a long two-hour interview.
And in the course of this, my host went on a long and impassioned critique of working from home.
And I...
very briefly chimed in with a few thoughts of my own.
I agreed with some of what he said and didn't agree with other things.
Thought nothing of it because he occupied about 90% of that conversation.
Then in the following week when the podcast came out, they released a clip which was just of my
making it sound like it was my impassioned rant.
And then someone on social media picked it up and said that in the course of this impassioned rant, I had burst into tears, which was not true.
