As a wise man once said, sometimes you can’t make this stuff up. In what was obviously a coordinated attempt to make me late for Friday happy hour, both The Oklahoman and Yawn Doc reported earlier this afternoon that Ryan Walters – the state school superintendent who’s apparently working a bit too hard to drive […]
Hah, and when this source asked the guy’s office about it the guy’s spokesman went full DARVO:
Asked about the situation, Walters’ latest director of communications, Quinton Hitchcock, responded with a pointed statement Friday afternoon.
“What an absolute joke of a story and this is embarrassing from you to write a junk tabloid lie,” Hitchcock wrote in an email. “Any number of people have access to these offices, you have a hostile board who will say and do anything except tell the truth, and now, ‘NonsenseDoc’ is reporting on an alleged random TV cable image. Rock solid truth in journalism.”
So yeah, now I’m even more convinced the guy was caught red-handed…
Yup. Avoiding the question and topping it off with a personal attack is almost as good as an admission of guilt, IMHO. It’s a ridiculous, desperate tactic.
I feel like modern journalists really need to focus on the main logical fallacies and dissect these quotes pointing out how powerful they are at misinformation. People use fallacies offensively like this because it’s effective.

Or, this spokesman is auditioning for a gig on Trump’s PR team.
Walters was really gunning for Department of Ed. Not as rich as McMahon though…

Especially from the right
Sounds like he goes through a lot of them. I wonder why 🤔
I’d make up a fake name if I was to represent him in public too. I wonder if “Quinton” also wears a mask.
Either way, he hitched his cock to the wrong wagon.
