Have you ever hear the saying, "One oh shet erases 1,000 attaboys"? Btw, there have been two very high-profile stories mentioned in this thread alone where they at best embellished a lot and at worst just made a lot of stuff up. Integrity should be very important in real journalism. I have been "entertained" by several OTL pieces in the past, but when there are instances of fabrication of facts, it makes one question everything they present. And the Bernie Fine fiasco went way beyond mere fabrication of facts and it ultimately was very damaging to SU, Boeheim and particularly Bernie Fine.Yeah, but my Don Quixote-like issue here is that you can't discount EVERYTHING a unit does because of one thing you dislike.
I work in stats- 2% of a sample size of 1,500 is nothing when it comes to evaluating quality. Nothing is perfect and everyone has missteps. On the whole, OTL does great work. If they have an agenda, it's that the stories they're trying to break are important stories that would otherwise be ignored. It's just that people perceive them to have an agenda because it makes something they love look bad.
I don't know how anyone can call themselves an SU fan and dismiss what OTL did there.
