Just think, about three years since being falsely accused of misappropriating trade secrets and computer crimes with my Twitter account, I'll be teaching a class on, among other subjects, ethics in journalism.Only in America! pic.twitter.com/6xGtrjMKIo— Andy Bitter (@AndyBitterVT) August 18, 2021

I graduated too soon. Sounds like a great class
Andy,
You have to change your account names to Professor B now.
From now on, I propose we call him The Bitter Professor
Bitter rolling into McComas like:
Andy and Bill Roth teaching together is a hell of a combo, congrats to him!
Congratulations, Andy. Well deserved!
This makes me happy. AB has always been a straight shooter in his VT reporting and making him a bigger part of the VT family seems like a no-brainer. Just don't try to teach journalism fashion Andy and it will go well for you.
And he's got upper-management written all over him.
Always liked Bitter's work, this is awesome for him!
May have to make my way back to school 😉
Who was our ace in the hole recruiter on this one?!?!
Joking aside, very happy Andy is joining the VT faculty, he's a great writer!
Wait, what was this about misappropriating trade secrets and computer crimes?!?
Edit: Oh yeah, the whole twitter handle transfer thing. Took me a while to dredge that up from the depths of my "memory".
probably had to do with the Roanoke Times trying to lay claim to Andy's twitter handle when he left for The Athletic - there was a whole lawsuit I think (which went in Andy's favor) and it just made the RT look bad
The Roanoke Times sued him for his twitter handle when he moved over to The Athletic
Excellent.
Good for VT, good for Andy Bitter.
What's not to like there?
Sounds awesome for Andy.
Well it looks like our recruiting is finally pulling in five-star, get-after-it types of guys. Beat out the big dogs for this one.
i wonder if one of your turkey legs for this comment is from andy himself :-)
Well if I know Andy, which I don't, then... maybe.
Yes, they're usually under the radar...
Good to see us stepping up our journalism game.
Andy has always impressed me with his prolific work ethic and consistent excellence. Here's hoping he can instill those qualities into the next generation.
Congrats Andy, pretty sweet. Love the Brooklyn 99 Vindication Gif! That is a fantastic tweet.
