I think we all know they were a terrible source to begin with.

But they should be blasted now as an unreliable source and a classic case of fear-mongering, unsubstantiated, awful journalism.

always been Scott's M.O. even when he's covering sports, nuggets of truth somewhere within the article but he lets his imagination run wild and passes it off as fact.

Honestly the guy should be embarrassed for publishing something some guy told a firearms shop owner as fact. Pure 100% clown status and I will never read that damned rag another day in my life.

Scott can save some face if a decision is still released today, but I'm disappointed he sold out for click bait/fake news. He really does have some good insight and intelligent points of view....but for some reason he doesn't see the need to protect that.

When Soros needs to know what's really going on in Louisiana, he knows the OT is the only place to find out.

Don't read it often, but he was right on the EBRCOA. Probably could not have came up with a better title for the article "If You Vote For An $8 Million Dedicated Tax In Baton Rouge To Subsidize The Council On Aging, You’re A Moron"

I guess you win some , lose some.

OT trolled everybody. HS/OEP was calling all of the schools in the area (I know they called Central) on Friday to let them know they need to be vigilant today because the verdict would be announced.

fricking trolled the government.

In journalism, if you're going to post something so concrete as he did, you need to be right 100% of the time.

or the posters who can't stand not being the center of attention when a local heated issue is looming.

That's the problem. This isn't journalism. It's obviously just some fricker who thinks he's Matt Drudge.

I completely agree. I'm just saying this isn't anything out of the ordinary for mainstream media outlets.
