If Guilbeau, Kleinpeter, NOLA.com, et al are wrong, are they finished?

If these dudes are betting the farm on this (and to me, it really looks like they are), could this finally be the end of anyone legitimately taking anything they ever say again seriously?

Yes, Guilbeau is already a huge toolbag. But assuming he's a toolbag who's just dumping incorrect info out there, please tell me that people will nationally discredit him forever.

The dude is throwing grenades. Is he ready to fall on one? shite is starting to piss me off.

No. That's the beauty, they can just blame it on their unnamed source.

GG has been wrong over and over and has came off sounding like an a-hole quite often. What makes you think anything is going to change based on this stuff?
He is a hack and getting the attention that he craves.

I think Kleinpeter has just made a mistake as he is a damn good reporter.

Skip Bayless and Guilbeau prove it's not about being right just shouting the loudest and longest.

It seems to me that this might be one people bring up a little more often. At least I hope anyway.

Well, Guilbeau has already backtracked. But it seems Kleinpeter is sticking to his guns. But I doubt either will be hurt by this.

Have any idea how journalism works in 2012 America? Finished? For reporting an inaccurate story? Not a chance.

Since when are reporters held accountable for spewing incorrect info?

Was Herbie done when he reported Miles to Mich.

No, just like Skip Bayless, nobody holds these douchenozzles accountable for any of the b.s. they spew.

No, In fact I would argue the opposite. They will get more readers and sell more papers/mags than before.

Think about how many people watch/listen Glenn Beck, how many of those people HATE him? People read stuff because they like it, people read stuff religiously because of how angry it makes them.

I really don't know why these guys get so much flack.

They don't make up reports. They don't pull this stuff out their arse. They report what people tell them.

I guess I just don't get what else would you like them do to?

It's like he's saying the world is flat, because they said so first, and completely ignoring anything to the contrary... because it wasn't first.
