Unnecessary media hate.

Interception said:

Who decides what is biased and has an agenda though? Would that filter out everything negative about the patriots?
You're right about ESPN though. People blindly believe everything they hear from ESPN

if it's not balanced, then it would have to potentially be biased.

there was a time, back in the day, where reporting meant presenting the facts.
I'm not even sure it exists today, in any form. So, unless an organization plans to be neutral and push for that, then they would have to labeled as opinion-based reporting. It happened fairly subtlety, but there is little that remains of reporting. Most everything colors with opinion.

Do you feel that Felger has been enriched because of your new awareness of him?

A lot of people listen just to hear what stupid crap he's gonna spew and then call the show to disagree, win for Felger. Say what you want about him but he knows how to rile the masses and get ratings. Not my cup of tea and I do my part by not tuning in but a lot of others do. I wouldn't do it to feed my family but that's just me and one of the reasons I don't listen but I'm in the minority.

Now you're being gratuitously provocative. Like this guy:

Were you not the one to post a provocative insult that had nothing to do with the thread subject of media perception?
You are too old to be insulting someone on a message board just because they have a different opinion than you.

yeah, it's all true but good luck with that

a hate view is the same as a like view -- they're all just hits on the counter.
how many people on the net talk about and link stephen smith and how many reiss?

Insult? Don't think so.

Old people can do whatever the hell they want and not live to regret it.

Hardly. Old people can do whatever the hell they want and not live to regret it.

I'm sure when i'm your age I'll be delusional in my blind support of the patriots too.

I have no idea where you get that; I'm not averse to criticizing the team when warranted. Age has nothing to do with delusion or blind faith. If anything, those are pitfalls of youth. Perhaps you'll live long enough to learn that (along with respect for your elders).

Interception said:

Just because you disagree with their opinions doesn't mean they are the media equivalent of jerry springer. It just means they interpreted the information different. I don't agree with them and you might not either, but that doesn't mean they don't know what they're talking about.
It is very possible that we are the ones who are wrong, even if the chances are low.

Felger and Mazz ARE Jerry Springer. They love to slime and smear and they troll for reaction.
Say what you want about Dan Shaughnessy but Shaughnessy has the balls to walk back into a lockerroom and talk face to face with someone he has ripped. Think Felger or Mazz (aka the sisters) would have the balls to do the same?? Hell no!! Felger can't handle it when his hand picked mediots challenge him on his own show. Gets red in the face..... Frauds!! So looking forward to the day when those two step over the line and pay a big big price.

I respect everyone until they give me a reason to disrespect them, regardless if they are "my elder" or not. Considering you called me stupid or naive in your first comment to me ever, maybe you're the one who needs to learn respect.

A Patsfans thread on the disgrace that is Tony Gasbaggarotti...from 2008.

Felcher is a midwestern cheesehead that forgot to go back home after graduating from BU. As a BU graduate, I sincerely regret my esteemed university's decision to award this nitwit a diploma.

Poor, misunderstood media or not, I stopped caring about the topic once I realized that you're just really unlikeable.

Regarding the specific post cited, you definitely were being stupid or naive. Sorry if the truth was perceived as disrespect.

Proof that some people just never grow up... or just become delusional.
