Seahawks' Uchenna Nwosu psyched to be done with Pete Carroll and his coaching staff
The Seattle Seahawks have revamped their coaching staff and edge rusher Uchenna Nwosu seems to be quite happy with the change.
Really? From the article:Wow that writer sure is trying hard to take what Nwosu said completely out of context...hes happy with the new coaches and direction..that's all I got out of it.
But did it raise your eyebrows? (Figuratively)Wow that writer sure is trying hard to take what Nwosu said completely out of context...hes happy with the new coaches and direction..that's all I got out of it.
Agreed. The writer is using some pretty inflammatory terms like "trash" that are completely inappropriate given the rather benign statement. He's over dramatizing.Right. Be careful as to any conclusions you might make regarding the previous coaching staff after reading this article. The writer seems to think articles with subjective derivations are permissible.
...he also seemed to trash Carroll and the other former coaches.
...but he pointed out that the new coaches were which seems to infer the reverse for the old coaching staff.
Note: This is NOT a political opinion or commentary, but it's the best example of the topic that I can think of.Remember when journalists wanted to write good stories instead of hot takes for clicks?

So, opinions ARE NOT facts?The article definitely takes liberties and a lot of them. Even if you believe the worst there’s really no reason to believe he didn’t like being under Carroll at all. At worst maybe he wasn’t happy with Clint’s schemes and is excited for a new approach, but let’s be honest, who among us isn’t glad to see us moving on from
Clint’s defense? I could say the same as Nwosu and I wasn’t pushing to fire Pete. I just wanted to see new schemes on both sides of the ball. When I read that Pete didn’t want to make big changes this offseason then I agreed with the decision to move on. Still doesn’t mean I didn’t like having him here or didn’t like his coaching.
An opinion piece would be if the writer stated their opinion. This “article” tries to tell us the players opinion without actually knowing the players opinion.So, opinions ARE NOT facts?
Hmmmm, interesting take.
I’ve assumed by reading these forums over the years that opinions ARE facts.
Hence the shift in what people call “journalism” these days.
Even the majority of what we see on the TV News(MSM) nowadays are actually opinion pieces based on something that happened or something someone said.
The “facts” and only the facts almost never get reported any more.
Remember not that long ago you could watch the “news” and at the end of it one of the anchors or an editor who do a 30 second “opinion” piece?
Doesn’t happen anymore because it’s all opinion, or slanted to fit an agenda.
Facts still get reported. The problem is the dramatization that's being applied such as they are in this article, with terms like "psyched to be done with," and "trash". They are still reporting the actual facts, but they're giving them a certain spin to it that almost certainly wasn't the intent of the person who made the statement but will advance the reporter's agenda, in this case, to generate a controversy that will result in more readers.So, opinions ARE NOT facts?
