Bruce is right- they've been a disgrace, and that needs to be addressed.

how dare you criticize such an honorable profession. Journalism is this countries back bone....the right to free speech.

Problem is these people feel there right to free speech has freed them from what used to be a very ethical profession.

I can't say it enough the scariest thing about this is these guys cover sports and can't get it right how bad do you think journalists who cover meaningful topics screw things up?

Some great great points but I personally liked the part about the Times:

That was AWESOME! Thanks for posting this.

Thanks for the link! FANTASTIC article!!

I am emailing that link to all the football fans that I know.

Hope other Patsfans also do it so that we can try to educate the non-Pats fans on the reality instead of allowing them to get misled by the vicious slander masquerading in the form of 'opinions' and 'columns' by many in the sports media.

Splendid !

Boston Sports Media Watch here lives up perfectly
to its name and mission.
SOMEONE needs to try to keep those guys honest.

NY media doesn't like BB because he left Jet for Pats. Herald spygate coverage is worse compared to other.

Well thank God SOMEONE gets it.

My heartfelt compliments to Bruce at BSMW for having the stones to write about the lack of truthful reporting.

Finally someone takes the issue to those in the media who have poisoned their reporting with their internal bias against the Patriots. The overwhelming majority of sports reporters/commentators/analysts have misrepresented the truth and NOT looked very far for facts. Likewise, they have NOT verified allegation(s) in many instances. The reasons seem unclear as to why they would behave so duplicitously. If one were to do this in many professions it would lead to disciplinary action, but these self-aggrandizing holier-than-thou reporters have looked us right in the eyes as they stabbed us in the back with their resolved incompetence, outright lies, and innuendo.

If they were to hit us hard with only the facts, that would be fair reporting. To pile on with the late and dirty hits is dirty play.

If it hasn't been suggested, I would like to see the link to this story in the Cameragate section.

Now, Now FBN.

Let's play nice with others. Just remember ignorance is not the same as stupidity (though often can be confused).

Just because Jared doesn't know there is no post count reqmt; doesnt mean he is an idiot. Let him open his mouth (or work his keyboard) and prove that one way or the other.
