carefully crafted sound bytesThe phrase is "sound bIte," not "Sound bYte." Get a fucking dictionary & use it! Oh, hey, there are dictionaries right on-line when you're typing along, you don't even have to get off your ignorant ass to get a big heavy book. Try it some time!
It seems we're not the first to notice, & we can add this fucking "Lou Marinoff" moron to the list of those who must go elsewhere. Seriously, he has a "pet homonymic peeve—again symptomatic of a culture rendered senseless by fuzzy speech—[...] named 'sound bite'" that is 180 fuck-tuck-tucking degrees wrong.
Imagine what a fucking cretin you have to be to get hot & bothered about something you're completely wrong about. (Is Lou a right-winger?)
We can add to the discussion that "sound bite" is a television news term which probably pre-dates the 1980 WaPo reference given at eggcream. Ha ha, we're right again!
