This whole saga has helped me realize how little the media writers know when they post

Media writers all over the country are getting all the facts wrong surrounding these lawsuits. They’re blaming LSU and Kiffin for things they never did, and they’re willfully ignoring all the other schools that are going through the same stuff as LSU.

The players are filing lawsuits; not the school. That’s one of many things the media is constantly getting wrong.

They’re also willfully ignoring the special circumstances surrounding a few select members of the 2022 class.

Tons of people are losing their credibility right now by obsessing over Lane and LSU and portraying them as the evil villains of the sport. Too many emotional petty bitches all over the country.

Absolutely zero fact checking going on anywhere. Just clickbait bullshite in an attempt for these nerds to make names for themselves.


Bunch of grifters, real journalism is dead.

Or views on youtube. The journalists are either not doing their job or being disingenuous, but a lot of people eating this up are treating entertainers as journalists. Paul Finebaum isn't a journalist, much less somebody like Mike Bratten. They're talking heads meant to entertain and they make more money saying outlandish things.

Moscona makes me want to punch a baby sometimes, but I think he's handled this entire ongoing saga pretty well. Present the facts, provide the context, and comment on the possible outcomes. I think he's been objective while reporting to a specific audience. Just my opinion.

Are the other schools welcoming the canned NFL players to their facilities the day after they are cut from the NFL? There are logistics to that. One cannot claim they are just a passive witness, when they are oiling the process.

yep it's all about clicks and they can just throw anything out there whether its true or not. They really ought to get sued a whole lot for some of the false narratives they put out to the world about people.

Journalists are the dumbest people alive. Sports journalists are the dumbest of the journalists.

Remember this the next time you read a news article. I lose a little bit of faith in journalism every time I read an article about something I’m intimately familiar with and spot multiple, easily corrected factual errors about events or circumstances.

I don't know if you know this, but this has been going on for about 10 years now. Media is no longer about getting information right, you can lie all you want as long as you omit just enough so that you can't be sued for it. Media is all about ratings, now. It's all about the sizzle, not the steak.

What makes me mad is when the title is one thing to grab attention and the article is mostly about something else.

One of the major CFB sportswriters posted a story with Lane Kiffin/LSU headlines and the story was about how everyone else was involved besides LSU...

Gell-Mann Amnesia effect. You react to one article the way you describe, then you turn the page to another article, and the same media outlet makes you feel informed, educated, and up-to-date because you don't know as much about the topic.

Agree. "Journalism" has been dead for a long time.

Some of these writers, better watch with their publishing tactics, as they can get sued for slander.
