Comparison between influencers and public reporters through Greg Norman Jr’s perspective

Twitter is one of the most popular platforms to share one’s insight regarding a matter. Along similar lines, Greg Norman’s son also took to the social media site to honestly shed light on how people need to smartly investigate the information available online. He said that members of the media and influencers with a massive following need to be surveyed by the masses.

Circling the same, he expressed how many a time these individuals have “zero clue about the underlying matter“. It ultimately leads to the unfurling of incorrect information and accelerates “high school-level gossip“. Addressing the concerning issue of insane engagement, the 38-year-old voiced that the news as such is mostly biased or paid to be so.

Once Greg Norman Jr’s tweet was up, one of the fans questioned his understanding. He said that maybe those people who follow such media personnel or influencers are due to the fact that they are entertaining and authentic. Given the huge involvement, the user said it would be far-fetched to say “that a lot of people tend to agree with me“.

This resulted in Norman acknowledging that there is a difference between entertainment/comedy and being a larper (someone who pretends to be something they are not). He believed the latter to be a negative impact across every spectrum. This gave way to more responses regarding the tweet.

However, when one netizen, in particular, brought golf into his argument, Greg Norman Jr abruptly corrected his misunderstanding. The user stated, “You think he can actually look at the golf ecosystem objectively? He’s got about as big of a bias as anyone could have.

Greg Norman’s son without any hesitation said, “Where did I mention anything about golf“. Elaborating the same, he added that his target while posting wasn’t any particular industry or name. Further, he called out the fan, “You jump to conclusions. Why?” The Twitter handle quickly accepted that he may have been in the wrong since he didn’t comprehend the context properly.
