I find it humorous that the national media is quicker to condemn and criticize BK than our own local media.

They had no problem going after Les, but ever since O, they've been in bed with LSU athletics and its disgusting.

When Paul Finebaum has bigger balls than your local guys, you have an issue.

They are dependent on LSU for their news. They can't afford to piss LSU off.

They’re scared BK may yell at them. They have feelings too.

Ever heard the phrase “don’t bite the hand that feeds you”?

They’re afraid of losing access.

Wave access, and they all go silent. Somebody in the media should go at his top about that spoiled comment for real.

In fairness to the local media in Baton Rouge, are there any schools where the local media really ask coaches tough questions and demand answers?

Free hot dogs, access to the fundraisers for free drinks and ability to rub the coaches balls!
The press here is a joke they let Bk walk all over them because they are afraid of LSU. Hold him accountable, the one guy he yelled at should hammer him in every presser, he now has a free pass! What’s BK going do if that guys starts pressing Bk will either have to answer or stand there and get smacked because he can’t go back at him now.

Because you get your press credentials revoked. Sports journalism at the local level is not journalism when it comes to college sports. Those reporters depend on access to LSU to get scoops. Access cut off, no scoops. Sports is the only thing profitable in newspapers.

If you think the reporters are like that in Baton Rouge, you haven't seen anything like reporters in other SEC towns. Less than zero teeth.
