Should Newsweek's Bob Glauber be suspended for the Super Bowl?

I would like to see journalists be held to the same standard as players and coaches during these investigations. Bob Glauber clearly doctored the story and is guilty; I think he should be forced to have a press conference and prove his innocence, and if he says the story is true, we should still consider suspending him from reporting on the SB and also give him a large fine. At the least his reputation should be tarnished.

According to Glauber's story, published on Monday, D'Qwell Jackson's interception triggered the Colts to question whether the balls were deflated. The story has since proven to be 100% false, according to Jackson himself, yet Glauber cites "According to a person familiar with the background of the matter". Shouldn't he be investigated for fraud? Or shouldn't his "source" be investigated for intentionally misleading the public?

I am so tired of chicken-sh*t "journalists" being let off the hook, being paid a huge bonus for generating clicks, influencing the public's opinion on an issue, then slowly fading into the background with impunity when their stories are proven to be false.

John Harbaugh and Chuck Pagano have both been proven liars during this investigation by their own contradictory statements. The Baltimore Ravens kicker and punter initially said they became suspicious because their balls seemed deflated; immediately after it was reported they were using K balls that the Patriots don't have access to, they retracted their statements.

It is incredible at the amount of misinformation that is spread on a daily basis, and the "news media" is thrilled to jump all over it. I don't know why Bill Belichick and Tom Brady are held to one standard while reporters and coaches of other teams are allowed to lie through their teeth to influence the public's view of themselves and this investigation. It's disgusting.

All great valid points, but alas I've come to the pathetic conclusion that the longer this continues then the Pats will once again be on the receiving end of all the sh!t coming down the hill.

Add the si.com guy. Rosenberg i think

Loved Newsweek growing up. Read it cover to cover. Starting in the 90s Newsweek like all the other mainstream pubs became infested more & more with the new school of journalism (sic) where agenda trumped fact.
Not. Worth. Reading.

The mob is frenzied and must have blood.

They think they are doing their part to keep America pure.

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Really surprised no news outlets have run with that quote yet

Sometimes these larger media outlets have Ombudsmen. Send them an e-mail ......... just be aware that it's a matter internal to the organization. Still, it might give these dopes a small amount of grief. It's better to just ignore it.

In short, yes. Politicians aren't going to give you interviews if your a muckraker. If the NFL wasn't run by bumbling idiots they would blacklist folks that lie about them. The reporters need the NFL more than the NFL needs reporters. Hi, I'm interviewing for the new sports reporter job, just one thing, I ran a false report a few years ago and now I can't go to NFL press conferences. No big deal if we just don't cover the biggest sport in America right.

FoxSports had an article yesterday that said Spygate was about taping practices - I don't think journalistic integrity means much anymore.
