In fact, I'll bet the new book is filled with BS, too. I'll bet the tale he told the NYT a couple of years ago was BS. I think the guy's an egotistical idiot. He taught for Media Bistro, too. |

All he did was talk with a very monotone voice and the copies of material he handed out to us was full of typos! Unreal! Oh, and I forget to mention....anybody who thinks teaching a Mediabistro class means reading the typo-laden material in a monotone voice does the trick is sorely mistaken. I wrote a very bitchy letter demanding my money back and after several people did the same, we actually got refunded, which is apparently against MB policy. This guy is an ass! |
