There’s apparently some concern out there about the tabloidization of TPM, about which, well, Marshall & co. have always had an impish gleam in their collective eye, and anyway, how much further do they have to fall before they’re even as bad as the Washington Post?
No, I come to criticize TPM for something altogether other: popularizing the use of “spox” as some sort of ghastly Varietysprech for “spokesperson”:
ABC’s Jake Tapper just twittered in a report that Gov. Sanford has now made contact with his office.
Gov Sanford called office + was “taken aback” when learning of interest his trip has garnered, his spox sez. Will return to office tomorrow.
I don’t care how much trim you have to lose to fit the hed. This must stop. Immediately.
