Whitlock crushes Thayer Evans and SI

After all, even Jose Canseco told truths about steroids abuse.
Half the time, star witnesses in court trials are criminals themselves.
A reporter's credibility is huge. But on a given story, it's the facts and the reporting first.

 

One of the worst things you can say about another reporter is that they have no credibility. To me the only thing worse would be to accuse them of fabricating stories...

If Whitlock wants to pick apart the story and say, "This is inaccurate and here's why..." then that's one thing.

But a sweeping statement than someone who has worked at the NYT and SI has no credibility? Damn...

 

As a Kansas State alumnus, I call into question all the reading I did in that piece. I'm totally biased.

 

That said, isn't this the same media entity that fell for the Saban to Texas tweet?

 

I suppose, if you want to discredit the Los Angeles Times because Bleacher Report appears on their site.

SI.com, like the websites attached to Forbes or The Atlantic, is a pale and embarrassing imitation of the original product.

 

"You know, just because you say 'with all due respect' doesn't mean you can say whatever you want."

"It sure as heck does!"

 

Wait, what?

 

Not meant perjoratively, just that your posts on the subject focus a lot less on what players and coaches might have been involved in, and more on the perceived institutional rot of the N.C.A.A. Which I think is Whitlock's point, if his screed has a point other than to wale away at Evans.

 

And once again, Whitlock makes himself the centre of attention.

 

Kinda like how January Jones is the center of attention of all your posts. Sometimes, I don't even get to your actual post

 

Man, if that's what he does to a fellow journalist I'd hate to be the Backroom Casting Couch guy once he finds out there is no job paying $1,000 to $5,000 a day. [/obscurecrossthreading]

 

SI has video of some of the players on its site admitting to the things in the article.

George Dohrmann said they interviewed more than 60 former players, so I guess they all might be lying. But Evans didn't make these accusations up out of thin air.
