Thanks for posting that GB. Liked the article. Hated the headline. Thompson explicitly avoided saying anything that could be construed to be an "I told you so." Totally inaccurate and unfair to project that onto him.

I wasn't impressed with the fact that he chose to answer for Thompson a question Thompson felt would be inappropriate to answer. A professional journalist would have pointed out Thompson chose not to answer the question, and let the reader draw their own conclusion. My guess is this guy has conducted his last interview with Ted Thompson.

I think the article makes it clear Ted didn't say it. The important thing is, he could have said it.

I don’t think the concept of checking sources, etc. is part of Journalism Schools anymore. It is more or less “this is what I think and I will shoehorn the world around me into that reality…….and then report it as quasi truth.”

I don't see how anyone would confuse this column with a news article. It's an opinion piece.

So vince what do you think about Obama.

Vince: "No comment"

So what you really mean is he is a terrible scumbag kenyan native...at least that is what I wish you had said, so let me write an article saying so.

It seemed to me to be an interview that turned into an opinion piece because Thompson wouldn't answer a certain question.

Most people don't read the article. He explicitly avoided saying it so as not to create the wrong impression. Whoever wrote the headline didn't care about making shit up and making the Packers look petty.

I buy that - the headline sucks.

I have my opinions about journalism and journalists and I think I've made them pretty clear in the past, but the question on my mind is, Ben Roethlisberger has a fiancee? Someone agreed to marry that piece of shit?

It's an interview. The interview is itself the news. Typically, the interviewer inserts him/herself into the story by virtue of the questions and follow-up questions they ask. They should not go further than that. If they do, it's then a commentary. In other words, it's poor journalism, but very typical of our age to insert personal commentary into an interview or news story.

stop inserting commentary into your news reports
