All the people cited in the article are light years ahead of me in terms of charitability. I have much to learn from my fellow Minnesotans.
Some of that comes from the fact that folks realize that whatever they say will be repeated. I’ll assume that you’ve never worked for any sort of media. When you go to interview someone, when you ask questions and jot down notes, when you hold a tape recorder while you interview, when you hold a microphone to their face.......they tend NOT to say exactly what they are thinking. Words came come back to bite you. These folks didn’t want to come off sounding hateful in front of the world.
You’d be shocked to learn what some folks will say when they think that the tape isn’t rolling......
