BLOG! hammers Miami Herald editors, newspapers in general after story pulled

I was going to add that I was curious when PFT turned into a reputable site. I could honestly be wrong since I don't pay attention to the thing.

Good enough for Florio isn't good enough for us.

 

I hate seeing goddamned editors get in the way. Never has this business more needed an unedited Web entry to result in a multimillion-dollar lawsuit/settlement.

 

You know, it's really not fair when you post examples obviously supporting your side of the debate we've been having.

 

Florio is a jackass. His "reports" from the SB cried of fanboi.

 

I don't know. I think he does some good work.

He sure did hang himself with that post, though.

 

I find it funny the BLOG! wouldn't have had a post if wasn't for the newspaper in the first place.

 

The only times I've used a single, anonymous source was when that source was also the subject of the story, but didn't want to be on the record.

I can't imagine that anybody would have a problem with that, unless they thought that the guy had some reason to lie to me.

 

The fact that Salguero put Parcells' alleged statement in direct quotes was undoubtedly another red flag for the editors. Unless Armando got the info from Parcells (VERY UNLIKELY) or Huizenga, how would anyone know the exact wording?

Salguero probably got the info from an agent or a broadcaster or a friend of Wayne who heard it second- or third-hand.

 

If the subject is willing to be a source but wants to remain unnamed, then you have good reason to suspect that the person might be angling in some way.

Lying? Maybe not.

But using you to advance his or her own interests? Probably.

 

or that legal ESPN guy Lester Munson.

 

You are a legend.
