Matt Jones on “Burnt Hair” radio, Mitch, poverty, and Kentucky culture
This may be my favorite and funniest interview I have ever done with Terry. Take a listen if you want https://t.co/NQNSC8unHw— Matt Jones (@KySportsRadio) January 3, 2020 Kentucky Sports Radio founder Matt Jones popped by my radio studio today to talk about his upcoming book MITCH, PLEASE. It was more than comedy gold, Jerry! It was a great piece of broadcasting about Kentucky, politics, poverty, and promise. Matt and I trust each other enough to go deep on lots of subjects that would make other broadcasters squirm. Regardless of school rivalry silliness, I want it stated for the record (again) that I think Matt Jones is one of the smartest, most effective media personalities I've ever experienced. Great media material is always
Communication Breakdown – media mayhem
Communication is life. Communication creates peace, understanding, and domestic tranquility. What if someone tried to prevent communication over a cheap little postal stamp? #isthisteallife so a stamp and three to four trucks later the card would arrive a few hundred yards from its origin?

To the man who smacked my butt on live TV this morning: You violated, objectified, and embarrassed me. No woman should EVER have to put up with this at work or anywhere!! Do better. https://t.co/PRLXkBY5hn— Alex Bozarjian (@wsavalexb) December 7, 2019 So far the management at Alexandrea Bozarjian's TV station WSAV hasn't made any comment in her defense. Incredibly tone deaf. It didn't take Twitter sleuths long to identify Alexandrea's perpetrator. This youth minister from Savannah is going to have a rocky ride with charges of assault, menacing, harassment, and other legal wrangling. Got Em!

Letโs go to Dayton & see how things are going at the Dollar General pic.twitter.com/IXvOjdFoB3— Busted Coverage (@bustedcoverage) October 11, 2019 Armed man robs frequently robbed Dayton, Ohio store. Clerk shoots robber. Robber got off at least one shot but the clerk was unhurt. Robber stumbles to the outside of the store, collapses, and dies. Karma, right? Witnesses say the robber did indeed point a gun at the clerk. Stand your ground. Self defense. Kill or be killed. That's how rational people interpret a scenario like this. As the above tweet illustrates, the siblings of the robber are somehow incensed that the clerk had a weapon and say the clerk should have called police and "let them handle it." WHIO-TV aired the interview
Internet mob rolling up on Charles Barkley after off-the-record comment agreement is violated by a political reporter
Just FYI Charles Barkley told me tonight โI donโt hit women but if I did I would hit you,โ and then when I objected to that he told me I โcouldnโt take a joke.โ— Alexi McCammond (@alexi) November 20, 2019 On the record, a violation of off-the-record agreements extinguishes all trust of the deceitful reporter. Bad form. Bad judgment. It only ramps up cries of FAKE NEWS. If she wanted the story to get out, she could have used the method of lighting a spark and letting other reporters inquire of other present parties to validate the original "story." That's how that's done. It's a little thing we like to call verification. Practice it, pleas.
Trump rallies for Bevin on election eve 2019
President Donald Trump rallied in Lexington's Rupp Arena on behalf of Governor Matt Bevin on the night before his re-election bid. Trump talked about Bevin's many achievements, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's successes in getting federal judges confirmed, Kentucky's overall progress, University of Kentucky basketball, and many random quips about various national Democrat stars. "Matt Bevin is pro-worker, pro-life, and 100% pro-Second Amendment," Trump said to a rousing response from the audience. As for the chance that Democrat attorney general Andy Beshear could take the governor's seat from Bevin, Trump stated emphatically "You can't let that happen to me." President Trump has made a last-minute rally push Monday night for Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin, a strong ally who is facing a tough
A peculiar twist – did UK twist media arms to scrub video – and is the word LIAR embedded in peculiar?
The University of Kentucky's football series with the University of Florida has taken on a peculiar twist. Last year in Gainesville, the Kentucky Wildcats snapped a 31 game losing streak to the Florida Gators. UK linebacker Kash Daniel celebrated on the visitors' field. AND THATS THE BOTTOM LINE! @steveaustinBSR pic.twitter.com/eq3cfstfNZ— Kash Daniel (@KashDaniel15) September 9, 2018 This year in Lexington, the Gators won a dramatic contest over UK and a Florida player returned the gesture. pic.twitter.com/l12LTtRb5M— Alex Huelsman (@alex_huelsman) September 15, 2019 Beyond Florida's victory came an outpouring of angry Gator fans who saw Kentucky's Kash Daniel twist the ankle of their quarterback Kyle Trask. Daniel denied any wrongdoing, but further video angles affirm Florida claims that the UK player
Never mind!
Inadvertent media errors are understandable. Punctuation and camera angles sometimes get the short shrift by media workers. No one gets hurt by minor mistakes in media. However, lives are ruined when media manipulation is in play. This adds to the burning tire fire that is fake news. Ouch! We report tonight the real bombshell: Christine Fordโs close HS friend (who Ford says was at the party when Kavanaugh allegedly assaulted her) said Fordโs story is not believable and told the FBI Fordโs allies pressured her, threatened her with a smear campaign to say otherwise https://t.co/GQhBTXHcze— Jan Crawford (@JanCBS) September 17, 2019 This is really helpful to our media business.
