LA Times says basketball player dies, even though he is still alive

Nope. It's what he does.

Your credibility here now stands at zero percent. Good luck on Reddit.

 

Message-board credibility is getting more important as time goes on, especially when trying to elicit support from the toy department who put a lot of stock in it. You'd think credibility would matter more in the real world than here, but we'd be delusional if the public thought journalists were credible.

 

Give me a break. This kid wasn't an elected official who is directly accountable to the public, and makes decisions that affect hundreds of millions of people's lives

Different rules apply.

Do I really need to explain further why this is not as "troubling" as you believe?

 

YF, you wouldn't get so many eye rolls and flippant remarks if you weren't trying to compare the presentation of the LeBron story to multiple media outlets getting incorrect information from a source they would trust to be accurate about somebody's death.

 

Haha.

At least you got the joke. The folks I quoted missed it entirely.

 

Yeah, you're backpedaling. LOL.

 

OK. Sure.

I love that you think I'm so dumb, that you read that as anything other than sarcasm, directed at MC.

 

Good luck on Reddit, Dumbo.

 

I prefer Sluggo to Dumbo, thank you.

 

Sluggo is Mel Slaught.
