NBC News roasted for describing 'Jeopardy!' winner by sexual orientation rather than name

NBC News was roasted by critics Monday after it posted a tweet describing one of the winners of the popular game show "Jeopardy!" by her sexual orientation rather than her name.

"The 23-year-old lesbian tutor from Toronto has amassed a total of $320,081, the most by a Canadian contestant in 'Jeopardy!' history," the news network tweeted, including a link to a report detailing the 14 consecutive wins by contestant Mattea Roach.

This is how stupid the left want to be with this.

So dumb. But it checks a box so..,

Can you just imagine greeting people in the future. Hi, I am a straight white retiree. No name, just sexual persuasion and some other tidbit.

"Roasted" by a couple of tweets as reported by Fox News, amiright?

Amy Schneider was supposedly the first woman hitting some sort of milestone.

It's a stupid personal announcement by NBC. Either you agree or disagree.

You seem more interested in the critique.

She's the first lesbian tutor to win anything.

I don't why I should care.

Fox News and the NY Post must each pay a guy to scroll twitter, find a couple of tweets blasting somebody, which is like shooting fish in a barrel, and then run this "bombshhell."

Second one from Fox News I've seen here today.

I guess this their idea of investigative reporting.

This is how stupid the left want to be with this.

I can't really think of anything stupider that you and Fox pretending (at Fox's command) that you care about anything related to LGBTQ beyond punching down at vulnerable minorities, AND then expecting that someone who does care is going to listen to either of your opinions about it.

Yeah, ok. What's next? A thread based on a Fox article about how awful corruption in government is?

Yeah, that was tasteless and ridiculous. Roast away. It hasn't come up on the show, though. It's on her twitter account.

I could certainly be wrong but to me, most prime news has shifted right in the past few years. Not so much as to what they say but
what they don't say. Ex: "The prices of gas have gone way up, here in the United States!" "Consumers are outraged"
Ah, yeah..assholes, you might want to mention that gas/fuel prices have gone up nearly World Wide.

Nobody cares that she's a lesbian, or has three toes, or dandruff, or any other personal bit of information.

The story is NBC's insistence on informing us of Too Much Information that bears no relevance to her winning on Jeopardy!

But you already knew this, and tried to blow smoke.

 

[CaughtInThe]

this thread is fantasy. everyone knows republicans can't tweet.

If so why did Fox New give Bigly Fat Juicy Headlines to somebody aka "critics"who made an issue of NBC tweeting about her lesbianism?

The story is NBC's insistence on informing us of Too Much Information that bears no relevance to her winning on Jeopardy!

The NBC tweet is an intro to a main website story a human interest piece on Mattea in NBC's "Out Life And Style" Section.

I posted a link for that piece earlier in this thread but I guess it was ignored.

Kind of puts it all in proper perspective unlike the OP's Fox News BS piece.

Here it is again.

And as Roach breaks "Jeopardy!" records, she's also amounted another noteworthy accolade. Roach, who is a lesbian, according to her Twitter account, has become the game show's latest LGBTQ sensation.

Methinks you can't see the reality for the smoke that Fox News is throwing for its less than informed fans.

Maybe they will make a national holiday for her?

How is she vulnerable? I thought she won?

Do you believe that homosexual people are less capable than us?

AND then expecting that someone who does care is going to listen to either of your opinions about it.

Everybody is entitled to an opinion.... well, unless you are on Twitter.... but that will be changing soon----- hooray!

They act like they do.

Arent we there are already? Im Jonny and my pronouns are we, us, and yall. People have lost jobs for not wanting to post pronouns.

 

[Queen Margo]

Why not?

Well, then I want a National Holiday too!

 

[lwf]

Sounds like an interesting job.
