I lecture about political science, social media and media & politics @ York University, I used to write a lot about music but I don’t so much anymore. I still watch too much tennis. He/him.
Yeah I saw some clips. And it’s really rich of him to say this when he is quite literally raising the issue on a high-profile interview show that regularly drives media narrative: «  I think he's handled the storm in the media that keeps on coming back every once in awhile. »

That dastardly media!

When I heard him talk about retiring after the LA Olympics, I suddenly felt very very tired.

I saw Gueule d’amour recently (Lady Killer) and the way he evolves from handsome soldier to broken (and broken down) man in the span of 90 minutes is extraordinary.

The worst pilot message I ever experienced was on a flight into Frankfurt. Said in a dry, flat tone: « This is your captain speaking and I must inform you that we are losing altitude. [pause] That is because we are approaching Frankfurt airport and if we want to land the plane must lose altitude.”
