Who says the apple never fall far from the tree?
Caroline Kennedy, who is pursuing the US Senate seat vacated by
Hillary Clinton, is being rightly criticized for her horrendous
speaking skills. Her father, John F. Kennedy, who was a legendary
speaker, might not be too impressed.
According to the New York Daily News, Ms. Kennedy used the words
“you know” in her interviews more than 400 times with the media.
Checkout this clip of Ms. Kennedy being
interviewed by a New York television station.
Here are the “You know” counts:
-
New York Times: 130
times
-
NY1: 80 times
-
Daily News: 200 times
To reduce filler words, Kennedy needs to learn how to pause. Close
your mouth instead of uttering the filler word.
