Seattle Times bans their sports reporters from local TV and radio

Of course they are paid.

 

That's rich coming from a guy who brags about stealing content.

 

You got a real hard on for me, huh? Six total posts and basically all of them addressed to me about jailbreaking an Amazon firestick. Is that you, Bezos? Did I fuck your girlfriend or something? Throw you into a locker back in the late 80s? I'm picturing Steve Buscemi in Billy Madison. Go stalk someone else, ya spineless fuck.

 

When Kornheiser was still on Dan Snyder's radio station a couple years ago, he'd have Feinstein on, the station would sell a sponsor for the appearance and the station wouldn't pay Feinstein. Eventually, he stopped calling in for free, and he was right. If they're going to make money that can be directly tied to you and they aren't willing to cut you in, you should walk out of self respect if nothing else.

 

I don't have much problem with this ban at all. It is competing, conflicting business interest, and work places in other industries make such determinations and disallow such things all the time.

And now, the newspaper reporters will be focused on their newspaper work. That can't be a bad thing, for the newspaper, at least.

 

Spin time. Before people got ahold of this story, the Seattle Times was saying they don't want their reporters appearing on competing forms of media. Now that the story is out, they say it's just KJR 950 they don't want their reporters to appear on.



The scuttlebutt that they're doing this because the radio station called them out on their arena stance still remains though.

LOL. It's either that or the jackhole blog site got the first story wrong.

This is what the jackhole wrote in a follow-up. By singling out one entity and labeling their commentary as “off-color” and “sexist,” the newspaper could be trending into libelous territory.

That's fucking idiotic and coming from someone with a real hard-on about the paper.

Seattle Times bans its sportswriters from appearing on local radio station KJR (updated)

 

Don't know if this has anything to do with it or if it's just a big coincidence, but KJR 950's morning host Mitch Levy was one of 110 men arrested in a prostitution sting.
