Yeah, that part is weird. It’s almost like Stout wanted to get it published while Hall was on vacation so he could get away with it. Why he wanted it published so bad is what perplexes me. Not only was the piece incredibly insulting on many levels, it was boring as fuck. I read maybe half of it (out of morbid…

I’ve made it a personal challenge to take my phone out as little as possible in the company of others. But it’s hard. The worst is when you’re sitting with a group, and everyone now puts their phone on the table...and does nothing with it (and these are situations where nobody’s expecting something urgent). Are you…

Sure. She must have liked it, right? She picked it out.

I couldn’t stand AC Slater

After today - i guess i officially hate them both!

Maybe this is too inside baseball, but can anyone offer insight into the reluctance to delay publishing? This wasn’t breaking news. What would holding off a few days to discuss have harmed?

The premise that Beyoncé is the one that gave black and Hispanic “permission to flaunt the things that make them unpopular ...their coloredness and their weight” is the part where I’m gonna have to strongly disagree.

And it doesn’t even work if the woman in question is willing to have the conversation, as this report shows. Bergeron reads the story and says “whoa! WTF?!” and is basically ignored.

Was this comment necessary?

Exactly what he needs, critiques from a source he cant just dismiss or walk away from.

No better way to be seen as “not a team player” or “just not fitting into the culture.”

I find the process interesting. Maybe you don’t.

In short, public trust. They’re trying to prove to the readership that they’ll continue to create true and valuable content and that this won’t happen again.

To be fair, I have never seen that younger man perform. I just can’t imagine Journey without the intensely earnest balladeer-ing of Steve Perry.

the report says stories on “sensitive topics” were regularly forwarded to women on staff to informally sign off on

That’s not Journey. That’s “Journey.”

There’s something about this guy’s descriptions, lack of basic knowledge about the music he’s talking about (Who doesn’t know what Survivor is about???), and inability to view this female artist separately from her relationship to men that made me feel icky.

What’s up with that dude’s face
