I mean, I imagined that by local, I mean the sony representative they had on staff. Like, idk, an ambassador to sony, who reported their word on down. It's only once he got into the more detailed explanation that I realized local meant seperate from sony. And it's not like anyone else caught it until now.
Personally, I think it's another indictment how Twitter just doesn't allow for any kind of extended explanation owing to it's format. Sometimes, just hearing people explain themselves in detail just is so much easier. And I was ready to write Jaffe's podcast off as opportunistic, since I don't like the guy very much, but no, it actually shown some light on the situation. I think this may need to be standard. For every twitter/era controversy, no final statements are made until the offender gets on a podcast and explains themselves.
