    I recently appeared on a live cable news show broadcast. I was on with several television journalists, all professionals, and when the time came for an advertising break, they instantly reached for their phones to see what the audience was saying about them on Twitter.

    “They hate me,” one of the journalists said as he scrolled through his timeline. “Especially what I said about Biden’s speech.”

    Another one laughed a bit and read a nice tweet about her outfit. When I reached for my phone to do the same, one of the old pros held my arm.

    “Don’t,” he said. “You’re not ready for this.”

    It turns out he was correct.


    I checked Twitter several times during the course of the live show — there were a lot of advertising breaks — and each time, I was surprised by the number of people who really do not like to see me on television. There were tweets about my hair and my weight and my shoes and my shirt, plus one or two about things I actually said, and it was impossible, after getting such specific real-time criticism, not to make subtle adjustments to my performance.

    @J.R.
    Lol they are all falling for it, especially here.

    reposting cable news tweets and videos
    Guess what that does?

    Why does Stephen A Smith make $12 mill? a year

    Anderson Cooper? Dude don’t shop at Ross like the art history dropouts of the D&D
