I don’t have media training but I know not to spend five minutes in an interview not apologising for being racist on Twitter. You don’t media training to say that it was a mistake and that’s why she deleted the tweet and let’s face it, that would have made this story a lot less of a story. The fact she had a PR person in the room who could have written something down and handed it to her makes it all the more bizarre.
You do but I guess the point I persue with all this is that there is a bit of public naivety at play here. People still are expecting that if a person does something and gets famous then they are automatically a good guy. In that reality what would make this story less of a story is the mechanism by which someone who is good at punching people in a measured and technical manner doesn't become the figurehead of a newsagent and convenience store with whatever the societal expectation of the given day is ready to put them on trial.
I fucking hate media handlers for the record. PR is a PR disaster.
Maybe she is racist - that's on her, but getting a media handler to walk her through a socially bulletproof apology for a ten minute radio slot to satisfy the weekly public tomatoe throwing crew isn't actually of any value to anyone.
