Mr Easterbrook is the first reporter that comes to my mind regarding the proliferation of reporters who have abandoned their responsibility to REPORT THE NEWS and have waged their own personal war against the Patriots organization.
This obviously goes against the golden rule of reporting the facts and makes me wonder how these men & women can justify why they believe they are acting in a morally superior way than those whom they are accusing. It's just so hypocritical, it's making me sick!
Yes, I know scandal sells. But why are we seeing unconfirmed rumors and outright speculation on what the Patriots "may" have done? Why has the media closed their eyes to the FACT that stealing signals & video-taping has been a widespread practice for years? Why hasn't the fact that Jimmy Johnson even admitted to doing it himself gotten much publicity?
Finally, I have to ask the question; Do reporters (& fans) just want to see the Patriots fall (while wearing blinders to the reality of this practice)?
What I truly would LOVE to see happen is to have 1 or 2 reporters accuse their fellow peers of having a personal vendetta against the Pats and call them to the floor to explain themselves. But I'm sure it's a brotherhood and they watch each other's backs...because, who knows, someday they other guy might be able to get them on ESPN!!
Can anyone add any other names to the list of reporter with personal vendetta's against the Patriots organization? I'm bad with names and forget them within a minute of reading an article.
