Wall Street Journal reporter Jeff Horwitz and New York Times media columnist Ben Smith had the internet buzzing for their Sunday talk show appearances — but less for what they had to say about Facebook and the demise of Ozy Media than for their choice of on-camera fashion accessory.
Horwitz kicked things off by wearing a gray headband that matched his gray suit jacket when he appeared on NBC’s “Meet the Press” to discuss Facebook’s negative press.
As Horwitz later explained on Twitter, “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.
