Robert Mann is the author. He is positively giddy about the impending destruction of evil LSU athletics.

Bob Mann is full of shite in that article


Local media reported extensively on the Drake Davis stuff and knew about the girlfriend, what they didn’t know was the Ausberry stuff and the involvement of the Sell’s. USA Today only knew that because the girl went to them with the story.

That’s not willful ignorance by local media. They hit a dead end on the story until the girl came forward about it this week.

I was in his class. He constantly complains about the emphasis LSU gives to athletics.

I'm not in the media and this is a legitimate question: How can the media find out if it isn't reported to the police?

yea, let's always blame the media for everything.

people never take accountability anymore...just always easier to say "fake news" or blame the media for all problems. Never someone else's fault.

Let's set this article aside for one second....

Robert Mann has a bug up his arse for LSU. I'm surprised someone who has as much disdain for LSU as him continues to work for LSU. If he had any integrity, he'd leave.

Robert Mann: "LSU didn't take sexual assault seriously and the media is culpable for not investigating"

Also Robert Mann: "Tara Reade who?"

Not a single thing in that article is false - it calls out supposed 'journalist' for NOT doing their job. Investigative journalism is of value to society and there is zero independence of the local press.

Is this the guy that was bitching about dust busting his shitty office when the new renovated Ops building was revealed?

Is Bob Mann not a journalist? He does a lot of writing, especially about LSU. Why didn't he do a little investigating and shed some light on the subject?

Because he's a leftist hypocrite.

What job was there to be done? Were reporters just supposed to just start going up to random females and asking them if they had been beaten by their boyfriend until one of them said yes?

This has nothing to do with LSU, but rather the journalist who cover LSU.

No Bob is not a journalist - he is a professor and author.

He's a journalism professor who writes on all topics pertaining to LSU whenever the mood strikes him. He could have just as easily written about this as the new LSU football ops center. He chose not to.
