Cam's Response to Olsen

[tiger7_88]

Time to lock this thread, Cam didn't even say that. Media trying to spin something, or a twitter blogger for that matter.

Oh, he didn't?

But some enterprising young would-be "journalist" in this thread has ASSURED us that HE would have "tweeted" that Cam did!

It's the ADD generation where people find it painful to think for themselves. Yes, you got that right.

And weasel "journalists" that work today are perfect for feeding that ADD generation that pablum it needs to stay satisfied.

So congrats to you for supporting those poor souls that never have a desire to utilize their own brain cells. You must surely be proud.

Or those poor souls who don't have the access and the ability to ask players the questions they want to...the sports journalist serves as a bridge between the team and the fan. I'm sorry you don't see it that way in your old ways but it really does....there's plenty of sports journalists who actually ask fans what they want them to ask during press conferences....

I never said I would have tweeted that Cam did....please find where I said that. What I said was I understand why the guy did it (although now it looks like he didn't use the full quote or just took the word fug and made up the rest and he should, and will get buried for it)....

Keep fighting the good fight, young'un.

But in poll after poll of which careers are the most respected, "journalist" usually only finishes ahead of "politician".

And there's a reason for that.

Newton, who tends to take each loss to heart, quickly shrugged Olsen off with his arms in a perturbed manner, mumbling something about close not being good enough.

I'm not going to dig, but I seem to remember you saying, in defense of this guy (and you've been die-hard in defense of him from the start) that you would have done the "same thing" he did.

Now do that journalism thing you guys always do and "morph" your argument so that it seems you weren't doing that all along. You shall be graded. :lol:

Someone lock this thread, so people can stop their bitching about Cam.

And I really couldn't care less about your view on journalism because chances are you still read the articles that are posted about your favorite players...

Guess what buddy, there's tactics that some would see as shady or dirty in every career out there....

Actually no I said I would have done exactly what Person did, as in say there was a disagreement and leave it at that....good try though....

Yep.

Some more than other.

Some WAY more than others.

That I understand what sports journalism is about....I understand your frustration because it's your team but that's the nasty side of journalism. Person didn't say what was or wasn't said because he covers the Panthers. Any other beat writer from another city though....it's completely understandable for them to say something noteworthy that happened after the game to drum up excitement. That doesn't make them a bad person, it makes them a smart journalist....now if it comes out that he made the whole thing up, he will get buried but if it's remotely like he said it was then he's awesome in the Chicago media and he'll get his 15 mins of fame in the Natl media....you might not like it but that's the guys job, to promote his name and develop a brand and following...

Let me add, if I was Person in this situation I would have handled it the same way. However, if this happened to the Bears, I'm sure Person would have tweeted/reported it, he's just like any journalist. Hell, Darin Gantt chastises his twitter followers all the time, it's quite hilarious sometimes...

There it is, and saying that Person would have reported it is true. The difference is Person wouldn't have fabricated some BS like this asshat did....like I said, good try though....

There is nothing wrong with this thread.

[tiger7_88]

So you said you'd do exactly what Person did/does. And then you follow that by saying that you expect Person would have done EXACTLY what the Chicago guy did.

So isn't that exactly what I said? That you stated that you'd do exactly what the Chicago guy did?

Isn't clarity of writing and thought supposed to be a journalistic trait?

Except that was under the assumption that what the Chicago guy said happened was true. We now know it wasn't so that throws that out of the window. Like I said if he made it up he should and will be buried...keep reaching though, this is amusing....
