Today’s media environment in a nutshell:
The original poster — if it’s even a real person — didn’t know I haven’t worked at ESPN since 2018. I clearly responded with sarcasm.
This tweet gets millions of views, and the comments are completely overrun with bots.
And now there are several AI-generated/aggregated websites “reporting” that I resigned from ESPN on Twitter yesterday.
This is why telling people to Google information doesn’t work.
I really hope ESPN lays me off. It’ll be tough but I’ll manage. In fact, let me just submit my resignation to make it easier on them. No need to draw this out.
