'Controversies,' like the one Awful Announcing stirred up over a recent Texas A&M news conference, are an example of news lost in aggregation
Texas A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher's comments at a recent news conference were taken out of context in a"controversy" that went from news aggregation sites to some national media outlets.According to the Internet, Jimbo Fisher really let a couple of media outlets have it last Saturday. “Blasted” them, even.
Until he clicked the link, he’d made the same assumption that everyone else at the press conference after Saturday’s spring game made: That Fisher was openly, playfully, and unambiguously joking around when he saw Zwerneman holding the microphone and told him he didn’t want the Chronicle to have the final question.
If this were the only silliness ever to spring from a blatant misinterpretation of an interview by click-seekers who aggregate other people’s work, we could chalk it up to one harmless mistake. But the truth is, it happens far too often, and that’s why it might be helpful for you, the reader, to ask a few questions the next time you see a faraway website offer a more salacious version of a story covered by locals.
This hysteria about a supposed quarterback controversy — fanned in part by a tweet from ESPN’s NFL insider, of all people — was highly misleading, and completely overblown. At no point had Sarkisian ever even suggested that Ewers and Manning were on equal footing. He was asked about the starting quarterback job, and he responded — in typical coach speak — that he doesn’t award any starting jobs before spring practice.
