bear2be2 said:Again, there are independent resources available that tell you outlets' biases. It's not hard with that information to account for or ignore those that present slanted news or to find and consume those with less obvious biases.historian said:
The news media today is openly biased. They don't even tried to hide it anymore. Whether you see it or not, it's there and it's real. That might say just as much about your biases. We all have biases so in a way it's better to have it so open. To pretend they are fair and balanced is to look at it wearing blinders.
There's no such thing as "the news media" as you're using it here. Each source is accountable for its own buses and work. Find sources that aren't actively trying to manipulate you. They're out there.
Not a huge Leach fan, but agree with your assessment, especially the usual suspects part.historian said:
I understand your point but I think he was forced into that by his employer. He could have fought it but he never was going to succeed. The national media had jumped on that a bit & the usual suspects were going bananas. It was a stupid complaint & he was the victim there but he made the wise decision.
The reporter didn't mention any names or ask for specifics. He asked if Gundy anticipated any staff changes. There was nothing wrong with the question. It was just another case of a coach trying to intimidate a reporter.Yogi said:

Had he said we are evaluating 3 position coaches, we'd not be talking about this now. By saying what he did, the reporter is getting clicks as is OSU Football. It's no big deal.No Quarterback said:
When you work for a public university and are essentially the manager of a multi-million dollar business, you should expect tough questions. It's not the first time he's freaked out on a reporter. And of course, reporters love stuff like this because the stories get tons of attention

People will gripe either way. Grundy shows emotion and he is wrong. Aranda shows no emotion and he too is wrong.No Quarterback said:LIB,MR BEARS said:Had he said we are evaluating 3 position coaches, we'd not be talking about this now.

It's not a big deal I guess. Just interesting that a highly paid coach apparently doesn't want to answer any tough questions. I think most of us at our jobs have been asked far more cutting questions than this when a project has gone sour, and I doubt anyone on here makes anywhere close to what Gundy does. That's all I'm getting at

I'm a fan of Mike Gundy and how he deals with media.
I wish he'd have re upped and said I'm a man…I'm 50 when he turned that age.
Classic.
The press in general has very little utility anyway, especially the political press. They are more accurately described as propagandists.
Your opinion here is more informed by your political leanings than reality. Partisan media sucks, but the are plenty of resources available through which you can learn individual outlets biases, and there are still outlets that try to and, by and large succeed at presenting news in a fair and objective manner. The problem is we live in a media environment that feeds on division and allows us to choose our own reality and declare any news we disagree with fake news.

Gundy is an idiot. After wearing an OAN shirt it told me all I need to know about that clown. He's a football coach, not a rocket scientist.

Would love to hear what media outlets you believe present news in a fair and objective manner? Serious question as I can think of none.

Reuters, BBC, and MarketWatch are examples of incredible neutral sources.

This post says a lot. A simple Google search shows that both Reuters and the BBC lean significantly left. Never heard of Marketwatch.
