Josh Tyrangiel, the editor of Bloomberg Businessweek who is currently on assignment reviewing Bloomberg Television, was quoted in a Capital New York story by Alex Weprin that he thought its content was “shit.”
Tyrangiel replied to Weprin with the following email, which was provided by Bloomberg public relations:
Alex,
I don’t know you, but if you care about your body of work you might want to retract of your story “A blunt assessment for Bloomberg TV” since it blatantly and inaccurately reports something I didn’t, and wouldn’t, say. I would have been glad to refute your context-less one word quote before your story posted had had you bothered to call or email, but you didn’t. Nor did you reach out to anyone else at Bloomberg. Personally this is a minor annoyance, but your story is an insult to a lot of really hard working, talented people.
I encourage you to publish this email, and retract your inaccurate story.
Sincerely,
Josh Tyrangiel
