The article discusses how contemporary responses to scandals and crises have devolved into banal and vague statements that aim to deflect criticism rather than provide accountability. Instead of offering real answers, public figures issue prepared statements that often obscure facts and avoid direct engagement with the issues at hand. This trend is illustrated through examples from various public figures, highlighting a concerning shift in communication styles that prioritize reputation management over transparency and honesty in the face of controversy.
Statements in the face of scandals often prioritize deflection and vague language over genuine accountability, leaving the public without true explanations.
In the wake of tragic or scandalous events, prepared statements often lack the specificity needed for accountability and clarity, substituting bland platitudes for real answers.
