In this week’s brand new Better Than The Machine Iowa Training Film “How To Give Bad News,” we’ll teach you how to give bad news in a good way, or, if you’re so inclined, how to make things worse. Take a look:

Happy Presidents’ Day from your friends Better Than The Machine!
In this week’s video, the topic is “Washington vs. Lincoln: which President was the best?” The debate is low in facts, rife with name calling, and has a strong focus on which President slept with whose mom. It is truly a worthy tribute to our country’s forefathers.
“Presidents’ Day Debate” was patriotically directed and edited by Ballard C. Boyd.
