What Journalists Say VS What They Mean

XX said nothing interesting so now I have to fluff out this entire article. Get ready for four paragraphs about the carpet.

I saw two people wearing the same t-shirt this week.

Dr XX is the only doctor who answers my phone calls.

I have nothing new to add to this story so I’m just going to regurgitate what I read in the newspapers

After an hour of searching I found five tweets about this. And THREE were negative.

I know who said it, you know who said it, the Prime Minister knows who said it but there’s no way I’m losing a contact on this story.

Three brilliant reasons, two funny ones and some filler. Number five did not make me gasp.

I’m not saying he’s a liar. I’m just saying some people are saying it.

XX is definitely guilty.

My editor said we have to encourage reader interactivity and I don’t know how to make polls or quizzes.
