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.
