I don't think we should cut any slack for Tomase just because he may have been looking into the Jets camera guy thing. He get no compassion or sympathy from me. Not even regarding the threats he's received. I agree it's wrong he's received them, but I don't feel sorry for him about it.
Big deal, he never found anything out...hell, no one has. I STILL can't figure out why and how that story never got any life. I guess when you're a cellar-dweller, no one cares.
Of course not!
I don't care about for whom a journalist cheers.
Tomase (and, more importantly, the Herald management) malpracticed that profession.
If I did that in my profession, the FINRA (formerly the NASD), the SEC and any lawyer would be in my wallet quicker than you can say "Elliot Spitzer".
You're right...there should be some kind of repurcussions for what Tomasse did. Our system should not allow for this extreme type of speculative journalism when it can cost major image damge.
Exactly. Until then one is free to think he made the whole thing up to get noticed, the corpulent ne'er-do-well.He has a responsibility to come out and name who fed him the BS. His source was wrong, but he needs to reveal his source.
You are right. Everybody on the food chain has their share and all should be punished.
A lot of these posts seem to assume that Thomase's story has been proven false. But really none of the allegations in the story as written have been refuted by the League's comments on Matt Walsh. The story wasn't confirmed certainly, but neither was it disproven. The Herald's editors are likely to view the situation in that light and probably feel no need to take any action at this point.
I have heard this narrative about the journalistic history of this rumor/story before. What is the authority for that?

Former Globe employee lays down the law of journalism regarding confirming sources and how Tomase/Herald broke that law:
