Media Training Tip of the Day: If you were interviewed for two hours by a major news weekly or business publication, and your major competitor was quoted, and you were not, guess what, no one at the publication has a vendetta against you or an “in” with your competitor. You weren’t quoted because you didn’t give good quote and your competitor did.

Last night I caught Piers Morgan on CNN. He was interviewing Michael Oher, the guy who was the central character in the Sandra Bullock movie, The Blind Side. I hate to be mean, but the interview was an embarrassment for all involved.
Oher said two “uhs” and three “ya knows” for every single other word that came out of his mouth. It was painful and horrific. Look, not everyone has to be great at everything.
