Someone said to me this week that all the social media about Emory was making us look bad so parents won’t send their kids here and I laughed and said “pretty sure calling the riot squad and arresting its own students and faculty is what made Emory look bad” 🙄
Yeah, that's a classic. Pre-dates social media by decades. (Centuries, really, in the "killing the messenger" sense.)
"The Washington Post is making President Nixon look bad!"
No, Nixon made Nixon look bad.
