Message: [QUOTE="JoeSU, post: 714572, member: 309"] - One more reason I hate twitter. - IMO it is extremely unprofessional for a newspaper writer to post rumors based on twitter feeds from some random person or "rumblings". I always thought a basic tenet of Journalism 101 was that the press has a responsibility to base news on reliable sources. I'm recalling all of the major networks having egg on their faces when they reported the incorrect story about the Boston bombing suspects being in custody based on "anonymous sources". - Cohen et al., are not off to a good start. All of the negative stories and now this crap have set up an adversarial relationship with the coaches of the team they are assigned to cover. This has alienated their readership and will only make their job more difficult. Maybe they should consider a career with the [I]National Enquirer[/I]. - I admire McDonald for calling him out on it and coming to the defense of a prized recruit. [/QUOTE]
