They forgot to mention that Espn , the Daily news, Gary Myers, Mike Lupica also have unfair biased against Belichick and the Pats..


I think its more against Belichick than the Pats, but they are one and lumped together..

Regardless, its just the idiots from the drive by media...

Florio floats rumors and fans the flames like there's no tomorrow....and because he is a "blogger", he gets free passes with the occasional "oops, my bad". Today, he is the defender of the home team. Days ago, the Patriots were stealing offensive signals. Yesterday, the stealing of offensive signals is worthless. I wouldn't be hanging my hat on his words.

The Times is flexing their journalistic muscles to get Belichick

suspended for a year. As I have stated previously, it is due to

a deep hatred for Belichick for embarrassing the Jets by turning

down the head coach's job.

I have been ashamed to have admitted I used to be an avid reader of the Times for a while now. Actually even longer than the whole Sygate stuff. They have been promoting yellow journalism for a while now. Apparently since readership is down so much. It isn't exclusive to this case.

All you have to look at that famous piece about John McCain a few months back to know where the NYT are. They basically accused McCain of being a womanizer and an adulteror based on rumor and innuendo. It was so bad that even many of the most liberal pundants came to McCain's defense.

If they can that irresponsible in their real news division, why would you expect a higher standard of journalism from their sports division?

Florio portrays his site as a "Rumor mill". He doesn't claim to be offering facts in a lot of cases. He has a lower standard of journalistic ethics to maintain.

In fairness to Florio, he always thought it was splitting hairs about the difference between offensive and defensive signals and didn't think the Pats would get punished for what was turned over. He was just pointing out how the media were harping on this point.

I will be interested to see if Peter King writes about all this tomorrow. He has portrayed himself as the fair and balanced guy on this issue. I wonder if he will point out the hypocrisy of the whole media on this.

I would not bank anything on Peter King being fair and balanced (that phrase is so closely connected to Fox that it makes me ill), because he has hatcheted us in the past on this issue too often. Petey blows with the proverbial way the wind blows...

Good example besides the BB paper lynching.
Things are not what they used to be or at least what we thought they were.

I haven't read the thread yet, but I did say to my husband this morning (a native NY who gets the NY Times but is a die hard Pats fan), "Why the hell isn't the Times reporting on their own football teams? They have both ends of the spectrum to talk about - the SB champs and the crappy Jests, yet all they publish is these venimous articles on the Pats." They look like completely obsessed losers. The articles are just merciless. Let's hope Goodell has a brain (a nervous stretch, perhaps) and isn't believing the hype.

Time to drop the NYT subscription.

Hell, most everyone else has.

Apparently the NYT's hatred of the Patriots has transferred to the new Indiana Jones Movie:

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/10/mo...in&oref=slogin

Using three anonymous reviews of the movie that were less than stellar on a movie fanboy website known to have a lot of bogus and plant reviews to disparage the new Indy movie before anyone has actually seen it. Have you no shame NYT?
