KoreanHockeyFan Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Yes. The guy makes up his own rumours and spreads BS around the media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BanTSN Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Is he ban-worthy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down by the River Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 He is hockey's answer to Perez Hilton. I think he is probably more intelligent than he lets on, but his writing style is abhorrent and designed for people who aren't able to read a full paragraph. I would find it insulting if I actually cared about his opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Common sense Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Awful writer. A majority of the Canucks bloggers can replace the Province Canucks beat writers and the quality would skyrocket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-DLC- Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I'm scared to edit so will add something of substance to my thoughts: I am tiring of the sensationalistic form of "journalism" that we're seeing. The headline grabbing, controversial garbage. Sure, on occasion it's nice to stray from the mundane and hit some of this stuff up for variety but, on a regular basis, it's whiney.Report on the lines, practices, health of the team, schedule, etc. Not on the "he said she said he will she will" speculation and rumour mill stuff.It reminds me too much of high school and is counter productive in my view.

CroSen Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 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.

Twilight Sparkle Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Something about the guy...i'm pretty sure when he gets to write an article to take shots at the canucks he does so with a hard-on and pleasures himself to his own words. something about the guy...
