Message: [QUOTE="timkay99, post: 1291536, member: 635"] I couldn't disagree more and its that type of journalism that creates a lot of problems. Let me give you a real world example. I worked for the Nationals and an article came out from a certain ESPN personality about the Nationals backing out on a trade. That trade never existed. Doesn't stop the personality, who went with his source and published it (thus painting the organization and the individual in a bad light). Needless to say, a high ranking Nats official gave a phone call to this journo and ripped into him. And the personality said, well, you didn't call me back. Because apparently the # 1 responsibility for all of sports executives is to return calls from the media. Moral of the story is you can print whatever you want. Accuracy doesn't matter anymore. Only the story and the clicks. Jim Schwartz is a big fan of your type of journalism. [/QUOTE]
