Agreed... I'm tired of Leach's performance in these games, but Blanchette deserved every word of thatGood.
Blanchette deserves it. I don't even spend time reading his articles, because it's the same old crap.
I think that was Theo.Posted in the other thread, but did anyone hear the applause after Leach first laid into JB?
Sports journalists used to be harmless. It was journalism for jocks. Then, judging by the articles Yahoo and BR and Brands X/Y started pinging me with, at some point they became very important - and wise - members of our community. Everything is shot through the prism of how it relates to that journo's feelings, or Donald Trump, or some other such nonsense. The days of thick-skinned beat reporters who knew their place in the universe is over - it's all narcissists high on some greater mission and the self-important BS some journo professor filled their head with.

I have the ESPN & Yahoo apps and allowed push notifications, which generally let me know BIG news in the leagues I followed, plus kickoff notifications or final scores.Bet. This is probably a whole other thread, but this is a world sold on advertising (have worked in it...) and because of that, headlines create the "news" and generate the dollar.
The fact we're more worried about $ and not the truth...a pandora's box, if you will.
Clicks clicks clicks. It's the same model from current events coverage/cable news. Gathering people around a table to blather about whatever's happening in a given moment is cheap and people watch. It happened fast. Started with the Gulf War, and by the time OJ happened it was basically over.I have the ESPN & Yahoo apps and allowed push notifications, which generally let me know BIG news in the leagues I followed, plus kickoff notifications or final scores.
It worked, once.
At a certain point the strategy shifted, and I am now buried in push notifications with dozens of idiotic thinkpieces about the Kaepernick affair, or where two of ESPN's hot twentysomething ladies who never played ball explain what they think about Lamar Jackson, or where Yahoo is urging me to tune into the Falcons "mounting a furious 4th quarter comeback" (they scored 9 points) against the Saints.
There is a market for keeping people informed, but to your point, these journo houses are increasingly not satisfied with this, and want to ram garbage down your throat 24/7. It went from major value-add to mail order spam.

Now hang on. That Falcons comeback was pretty nice... well, the highlight of the 2019 season anyway!

I think Biggs or one of the other top Spokane posters said Blanchet just has it in for WSU.
Maybe he couldn't gain admission into WSU and had to settle for Gonzaga or U of I?
Or is because Blanchet doesn't like CML's support of our nation's 45th President?
There's NO LOGICAL REASON the lead columnist for the Spokesman-Review should be so anti-Coug football.

Right after sanctimonious troll there was definitely applause.
