Its not clear from that comment the discussion is about the 4 guys in your list.
any how, I'll narrow my comment down... The media who gets their knowledge from the immature, emotional, young front line employees leaking stuff ... don't bite the hand that feeds them. Thus, the information pipeline remains open.
Whch is like I said a wrong statement to make because 2 people is not the media, and the majority of them - the ones we are referring to, have no direct sources, so there is no hand-biting happening in this context, just controversy-mongering
nah, my post is fine. my post doesn't include any of the 4 guys you brought up. i don't need a source... its called logic. its not controversial... lots of sports coverage people are not objective. its only sports... its not that big of a deal if they are not objective and favour certain people.
if you want to talk about those 4 guys. great. i'm not talking about them.

In cases like this, the media loves to be the moral judges of the peons.
Its not even about morality or any values. Its naked unadulterated lust for money. Like I said to JJ, these loudmouths are all winky wink on this. The best part about SAS and Shannon and Skip is that they are self-aware of the madness, whereas blowhards like Nick Wrong true morons.
The media has sided with the players over, say, management for a long time. The direct fan bashing is fairly recent and corresponds to broader media trends.

Maybe I'm misreading your post, but I don't see how it is related to my post at all.
You said something about media as moral judges, to which I react that media could care less about being moral as its all about what sells. And then your comment above...
LA is now on total news blackout, reporters are not even allowed.
The Raptors, owned by MLSE, will be pitching to Kawhi Leonard what a great job their medical teams do when it comes to managing player health. Welp, another team owned by MLSE is having problems in that area. Sebastian Giovinco's old trainer got canned; TFC's other stars ain't happy about it.
hopefully (Manning) can put his ego aside and I can get the guy that's kept me healthy, kept Michael (Bradley) healthy, kept a bunch of the guys healthy and we can make things move forward.
The Raptors better hope this does not get back to Kawhi Leonard's management team. MLSE needs to fix this fast.
Dipo strikes me as a Wilkins type player. Borderline star but definitely incapable of winning in the playoffs. Unless he is with a legit superstars and he can play 3rd option.
