The statement 'The Silly Furor Over "Allegedly"' appears to be a commentary on a reaction to a journalist's use of the word 'allegedly' in reporting. The tone suggests that the author finds the reaction to be overblown or unwarranted, and it implies a defense of journalistic practices. The image shows a person, presumably Kristen Welker, on the set of 'Meet the Press.' The content of the statement and the accompanying image do not provide enough context to fully understand the nature of the 'fury' or the specifics of the journalistic practice in question. However, the statement seems to be addressing the principle of engaging in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement, as it comments on a dispute over journalistic standards.
- The statement promotes dialogue by characterizing the reaction as 'silly,' which could be seen as dismissive, but it also implicitly invites discussion about journalistic standards. It does not directly engage in constructive criticism but sets the stage for a conversation about it.Principle 4:I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
- The statement acknowledges a disagreement in the public discourse but does not provide a correction or an in-depth analysis of the mistake, if any was made. It does, however, suggest that the reaction is overblown, which could be seen as an indirect way of addressing perceived mistakes in the public's response.Principle 5:I will acknowledge and correct my mistakes.
