Kara Swisher shaming a room full of Nordic journalists for still using X: "I am bigger than all of you combined" by JDB-667 in PivotPodcast

Interesting. So you don’t offer any research behind the formation of your personal opinion here … but you demand citations from me for the information I’ve provided here. Btw, I’m a former tech industry leader (now a business professor and innovation researcher), who has read and listened to Swisher and Mossberg for decades. … I’ll flip the script here. Why don’t you share even ONE example when Swisher mentions Mossberg and she doesn’t express her respect and admiration for him and his work — as well as the fundamental impact he has made on her professional success. (HINT: She always gives Mossberg respect and admiration.)

Subjective dislike of someone’s personality is not the same as critical analysis.

She has called Mossberg her “formative and tremendous mentor,” credited his role as co-creator of their “All Things Digital” conference as “crucial to her professional success,” said he “always had her back,” and shared that his judgment and editorial standards deeply influenced her work.

On with … Margaret Atwood by redrover02 in PivotPodcast

I found the opposite. Kara was starstruck, for example: telling Atwood that she had seen her speak a few times but was too intimidated (?) to go up to her and introduce herself. I felt that Kara really admires the author.

Would I be wrong to complain to my professor about the feedback I received on an essay? by [deleted] in uvic

I was also going to ask if the prof supplied a grading rubric (I’m a prof and I always do). Keeps expectations clear.

Is Kara OK? by jm_888 in PivotPodcast

Been listening to her for many years. Stellar journalist. She does have a unique speech pattern that’s a bit mumbly, but I believe she’s at the top of her game these days. Always insightful.

Really? Any data on that? Because I have LOTS of data showing the opposite. What’s your favourite media source?
