Incredible douche and fake human being Leo Laporte denies knowing who Canadian tech reporter and social media expert Amber MacArthur is during the reporting for the Mobile World Congress. Amber was on hand in Barcelona to host the Samsung post-event showcase and Leo pretended like he didn’t know who she was. He worked with her for years before abruptly firing her mere hours before the taping of her signature show “The Social Hour.” Leo, shame on you. You know exactly who she is. She’s the amazing woman who you use to help you shill your stupid Freshbooks ad. Leave Amber alone!
Do her a favor and tweet @AmberMac to let her know that Leo is still being such an asshole to her. Knowledge is power!
Thank You TD for jumping on another Leo slight, this one cuts deep and those of us that loved and followed Amber and Sarah.

Andy turned his eyes away to that slap in the face. Why does no one says anything. It is very mean. The chat room probably said something, so later Laporte said he “did not recognize” it was Amber. How do you do that to someone?

Amber has not publicly said one negative thing towards Laporte.

I don’t think she has to. The man is dripping wet with douche water.

>> WE NEED TO DYE LISA’S HAIR!!!!!
I recall watching a program on PBS that included a segment on how spiders need to shed their exoskeletons periodically as they age and grow. There’s a short time right after they emerge from their old ‘skins’ when they are most vulnerable to attack. Seeing as how Lisa consumes a new soul every few weeks I’m guessing shortly afterwards that would be the time when she’s most vulnerable and open to having her hair messed with.

That’s a new low!! Why didn’t the other guests chime in? Is appearing on that loser’s show THAT important to disrespect a fellow tech journalist?

Tech journalist? More like a tech shill. Did you miss the part where she’s being paid by Samsung to host that gig?
She’s getting paid to tout a company, and a pretty lame company at that. Please don’t call her a journalist.

*Captain, distinction noted. You are correct, sir.

Like there’s such a thing as an independant ‘tech journalist’ that isnt a total shill.

She is not a tech journalist, she is a host. She is allowed to get paid.

He corrected himself at the end of the broadcast- He didn’t recognize her with her new hair color.

Leo did correct himself. It’s in the Samsung Unboxing special coverage.

He said he did not recognize her because he realized he looked like an asshole. http://www.cracked.com/article_18617_the-9-stupidest-superhero-secret-identities.html

Either Leo has a real bad sense of humor, or he really is a dirt bag

In all honesty I wouldn’t have recoginsed her either. Most of the time on Twit she didn’t even bother to brush her hair, let alone the whole make-up shtick.

Way back when Amber and Leo did Net@Night, Amber changed her hair color. Leo was clueless because he didn’t check his twitter feed… If he had he would have seen the pictures Amber and John P were tweeting from Barcelona.

TWiT never bothered to remove the faux pas from the video posted on their site. Everything’s there…except for Gum’s on the scene report. He had ONE job.
