...saying "You don't promote the Bradley brand."

quote:

Wardle, when his team went 5-27 in his first year at BU’s helm, sat down for a gripe session in his office with Dave Reynolds, and said “We’re going to be good someday and I’ll remember who my friends were.”

Really? How about remembering the quantity, and quality of Journal Star coverage even when the program was 5-27. Good season, bad season, the newspaper covers the team.

Bradley, now, is in the business of suppressing its own coverage. Will they do this one day with local TV? Radio?


It'll be interesting to see how big a hit recruiting takes after this.

Maybe we just shouldn't expect impartiality in 2019. Organizations are more aware of how they're perceived through the media

Do you want the truth or the story the athletics department feeds you? ADs don't like when you break news outside of their time frame.

A reporter's job isn't the school's brand - that's the SID's job.

If LSU fans are wondering why Rabalais is a company man with bruised knees, this is why.

If the media was truly impartial, then I would 100% agree with you. But they aren’t. The media in general is often far away from reporting the truth.

All of these frickers have an agenda and there is no journalistic integrity anymore.

they're the content. The truth shows up in the wins and losses

Probably not, since people actually still utilize these to follow the team. Not newspaper

The guy that covers Bradley basketball is part of the globalist agenda?

No. I'm not talking about a "globalist agenda" or anything like that when it comes to Bradley basketball. These days journalists let their personal biases guide their writing. There is no journalistic integrity anymore, even down to the most low-level journalist covering something like Bradley basketball.

I'm not saying this particular journalist has any agenda, but I just don't care about media members at all anymore. They can all frick off.

The media in its current state is the enemy of the people. This includes the far left sports media

I get where you're coming from, but the whining and crying started with Bradley in this case.

The program had sucked arse in recent years, so harboring grudges against the hometown paper for not continuing to shill for them during 5 win seasons is asinine. Especially now that they finally accomplished something worthy of the positive coverage they apparently craved in the first place.

The media is full of arrogant, narcissistic and self-important twisters of the truth. It's the worst condition journalism has been in this country since the yellow press days. They seriously need to take a long hard look in the mirror and reevaluate their profession. I love how this ahole reporter has turned this into a story about himself. frick him.
