pimpcurtly Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Just curious. Last year at this time he was public enemy number 1....behind AV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMohammadman Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 No, not at all. Why dafug would we hate him? Because he's the most positive, smart, accurate, and trustworthy of all the reports out there. Your on crack if you think he sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never hated the guy, we choose to read the things put out there by the media. If you don't like him, don't read his articles. Quite simple really. I personally tend to disagree with most things Botchford says but the guy is not an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeywoot Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I don't hate him, but I'm not exactly a fan. Something about the guy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batmania Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I don't hate him. He's just not very good at his job. He ranks below Gallagher for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue90 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 It's too bad he didn't work in Miami the last few years. Wouldn't have had to wait so long to find out what happened between Martin and Incognito Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 He's an awful journalist ^This. OP, are you a relative or something? Or are you just trying to decide what the popular opinion is to follow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aGENT Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 He's an awful journalist Pretty much that. We have horribly crappy media here in general and he's at or near the bottom of that disgusting, rotting barrel. I don't "hate" him though. Just think he and most of his cohorts are godawful at their profession, him especially so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offensive Threat Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Pretty much that. We have horribly crappy media here in general and he's at or near the bottom of that disgusting, rotting barrel.

I think that's a pretty broad generalization that you in no way can back up. I also never said we have the worst. I just said they are crappy. I'm sure there's many cities with even crappier media. Does't mean our isn't also crappy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said in the OP, I'm just curious. Last year it seemed every thread in CT turned into a bash AV or Botch thread and I haven't seen much vitriol sent his way recently(but I haven't been on the boards much lately).

RonMexico Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 His point of view is too over the top. All he does is poorly try to stir the pot. Almost every article is written in bullet form like this. No substance. Rarely factual; just opinion. Mostly grandstanding and chest thumping. I wouldn't be upset if he faded into the background but that's wishful thinking.

rawkdrummer Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Botchford... Sensationalism is a type of editorial bias in mass media in which events and topics in news stories and pieces are over-hyped to increase viewership or readership numbers.[1] Sensationalism may include reporting about generally insignificant matters and events that don't influence overall society and biased presentations of newsworthy topics in a trivial or tabloid manner.[2][3] Some tactics include being deliberately obtuse,[4] appealing to emotions,[5] being controversial, intentionally omitting facts and information,[6] being loud and self-centered and acting to obtain attention.[5] Trivial information and events are sometimes misrepresented and exaggerated as important or significant, and often includes stories about the actions of individuals and small groups of people,[1] the content of which is often insignificant and irrelevant relative to the macro-level day-to-day events that occur globally. Furthermore, the content and subject matter typically doesn't affect the lives of the masses[1] and doesn't affect society, and instead is broadcast and printed to attract viewers and readers.
