Quote:Yup, O'Halloran clearly has a bias about it. However, I think this falls into the "reporting" of modern times, where a person takes an extreme opinionated stance on something (either negative or positive) and rides it for what it's worth.


O'Halloran is using this "Shock Journalism/Reporting" for reactions of the masses to talk about it and listen to it on radio.


And look: His biased extreme opinion has people listening/talking all about it. There's 4 pages of it right here on this board.


He's ridiculous. But, people are tuning in and listening.

When you listen to him, either on the radio show, or when he's in a press conference, when he's discussing Blackmon, he clearly has an issue.  Caldwell asked him if he had a problem with Blackmon in reference to Ryan's question and he said he did.  There's no place for that when he's simply reporting on a subject.  He's certainly entitled to have his opinions, but that shouldn't taint the way he goes about conducting himself when he's in front of the team. 

 

I get it that his job is to get eyes on his articles online or in print, and to attract listeners on the radio.  If he's being paid to write opinion pieces, that's one thing.  He's not.  He's paid to cover the team and report what news there is.  Not create it.
