Meanwhile, on today’s “Meet the Press,” WSJ reporter Jeff Horwitz unleashed a bold fashion statement and paired a matching headband with his suit:
Facebook has "blamed" their own researchers for negative press

It’s not just us making this connection, right?
Anyway, the headband did leave people confused:
I could care less about the content… my focus is 1,000% on the headband. Like… why? And most importantly, how did he find one to match his jacket?!? https://t.co/c5f75IbINU

Maybe he was at the gym?
Did he…just finish a workout before going on national television? https://t.co/dM2ML683ru

Horwitz later explained that “this has been a pretty constant thing . . . throughout a very long and weird Covid-time reporting project”:
Thank you! The headband has been a pretty constant thing for me throughout a very long and weird Covid-time reporting project. Glad it was a bit of fun for folks at the show. https://t.co/TAgbp6VvQJ

Okay, but, why keep wearing it?
When I woke up at 4am Pacific, I was motivated by two desires: to contribute to productive discourse about a world-altering technology company and to wear a sport-coat accessorized sweatband on national television.
I am 100% confident I accomplished the latter. https://t.co/pP2IiN6pl8
