I don't believe anything in the mainstream media at this point.
Not a friggin word.
The mainstream media is sad and pathetic, and they are DYING, and good riddance to the lying bastards.
They are also evil and liars, so they really deserve the demise they are getting.
They are losing more and more views all the time to independent web sources.
And the more they lose the more desperate they get to create drama and stories, and so they lie more, and lie more... and they go out of their way to disparage people and create drama. To get attention.
They are so desperate, and so sad at this point, that they mount campaigns against independent web channels that are drawing a big audience. Like there's this kid on Youtube named Pew pew pie or some crap like that, who has a bigger audience than any ESPN or CNN show.
He's just a dude that the kids turn into, so what does our national media do? They are so jealous, so petty, that they are launching a full scale assault on the kid. Smearing him every chance they get.
There are authors that can't get their books listed on the NYT best sellers list because those authors spend a lot of time interviewing with web based media, and it fills traditional media with desperate hate and loathing.
So they lie more.
If the media is so stupid, so petty, so jealous, that they're willing to smear some surfer dude who plays video games and talks about nothing, just because he's getting a bigger and younger audience... how honest do you think they'll be in reporting a team when it comes to sports, especially a team that sits outside of their "power and influence" in the northeast and in LA?
Man, they're so pathetic desperate for poop to throw at this point, they're digging up dinosaur turds.
You can't trust a word they say on any of these major sports channels. Remember the drama they tried to stir up against the Patriots last year? They were so set that Bellichek was going to leave, based on the fact that he was in love with Jimmy G or some stupid story like that. If that team didn't have the owner, coach, and QB they have, it would have torn them apart.
Just like they tore the 49ers apart.
And to a certain extent the Seahawks.
People bitch all the time in sports, but it's the media that creates a lot of these narratives on purpose -- they don't report the real news anymore, they try to create the news, and if their narrative isn't working they will force it all the harder. They will fish for any spurious rumor, dig up crap that got said 5 years ago, and go on and on and on and on with the narrative until even the people who know better start half believing it.
So the fans need to stop with this nonsense.
Stop caring about "rumors" -- STOP.
Stop tuning into them and letting them build a narrative.
Treat the media like Marshawn Lynch treated them. Hate them. Detest them. Refuse to give them a single moment of your time.
He totally had the right idea. Just ignore the bastards, let them choke to death in their own vomit. I don't even have ESPN or SI or any of that garbage on my web browser anymore -- I go for almost exclusive independent sources.
Immunize yourself against them -- it will not only lead you to less stress overall, it will force them to pay the piper for their crap, and when they finally crumble we'll get something better to replace them. There's already way better content out there!
ESPN viewership is down 25% over the last 5 years. Let's take it to 75% --- absolutely let them die.
That's my opinion.
