Am I wrong for thinking this sort of thing is embarrassing for the journalists that attended? Do they think attending social events with Benson makes them look objective and credible?

Funny how none of the local outspoken critics had a seat at the table. Yawn.

Why wouldn’t they attend. They get more access and get a free meal. Blame our owner. Shamit is pretty outspoken as well and he’s there. Everyone else tho are arse

The teams have been a laughing stock for years. New Orleans media is already known for being softer than Charmin, they should not be yuckin it up with the owner. It creates a conflict of interest. I disagree that Shamit is "pretty outspoken" from what I've seen but admittedly I dont follow him closely. I actually blame the journalists more than the owner, it's not her job to remain objective and credible.

there's like 14 people at Pelicans games these days btw

They all hold water for Gayle in some fashion or another. Anyone that has ever truly been outspoken of the cabal gets their lunch taken away.

You have one of two options in today’s sports media.
1. Be a lapdog for the organization so you can get access for coverage & stories & you will be invited to all the events/luncheons/games/parties.
2. Tell the truth, challenge the narrative, get frozen out, & be an independent on websites/podcasts all while reporting from home.

Interesting. Shamit got an invitation. Did he get hush money?
