George Hamilton's commentary has been a significant part of Irish soccer history, especially during the 1990 World Cup, where his voice became synonymous with the team's journey.

Kasparian argued Ocasio-Cortez appears to have taken a page or two out of President Donald Trump's political playbook, based on the lawmaker's response to a shot on social media from Kasparian.

"A certain kind of person is opting into spending a lot of time on social media, and they may be people who are more disaffected to start with."

Maddow stated, 'I am very disinterested in him as a person.' She emphasized that she does not have an interest in his opinions or in putting him on camera.

I can remember when I was tapped to go to 60 minutes I thought this was fantastic and I expected a lot of people would just come up and say, that's really great, I'm really happy for you, whatever the thing right is and then you realize after a while that not everybody was happy that I got this job.

If you've worked in a technical role in news for long enough, you likely remember when the "show your work" spirit was everywhere. Newsroom nerds shared code on GitHub, swapped tips on social media and unfurled long blogs guiding others on how to get things done. You might also have a vague sense that - like reaction GIFs, demotivational posters, and that guy who sang "Chocolate Rain" - you're seeing less of it these days.
