Blake McCoy: The News Becomes You
Manage episode 317330172 series 2855386
Blake McCoy was a TV news reporter who wayback about one year ago Tweeted (and because it's Twitter, you know there is gonna be an issue) that obese people shouldn't be prioritized for vaccines. He felt that the priority should go to all essential workers like health care workers and newscasters. He got some heat and apologized 3 hours later, deleting the tweet and then eventually his social media accounts. He was suspended from his job, later to be terminated.
Was his apology sincere or self-serving? We take a bite out of this story and chew on it ok I will stop...we don't do any of those things, but we do have some fun rating the apology and considering the big question: was it ever cool to be fat?
