I just love this internet day and age where Pam Oliver became the worst reporter ever overnight because she failed to recognize a quote from Ernest Hemingway, something you could say about at least 90% of the populace. I'm guessing the overwhelming majority of people bashing her didn't know it was a Hemingway quote either. But what else is new with the world these days. :229031_shrug:
Nothing about the misunderstanding of the quote from me. I think she's a terrible reporter as she does not report impartially and she particularly dislikes the Seahawks (by extension I do genuinely think she supports SF). There are numerous examples of her being a trouble maker, not least...
1) Proactively pushing the "Seahawks DB's cheat all game" prior to our fixture at San Fran. Even interviewing Pete Caroll about it pregame and bringing it up at the half (sidenote - her tone during this was baiting in the extreme).
2) Stating "I had the pleasure of telling Pete Caroll about KJ Wright's injury and behaviour" after he broke his foot in that game. Again, she went out of her way to state that he threw his helmet and it hit a worker on the sideline, attempting to discredit us as bully boys and creating controversy when there was none. Also, she has "the pleasure" of reporting this to Pete? Really?
3) The look of utter distraught on her face when she was interviewing Harbaugh after the NFCCG. As others have said, that wasn't her interviewing a coach professionally, that was a damn councilling session FOR HER.
Now number 3 wouldn't be so bad if numbers 1 and 2 didn't already exist to the world. That is what I find most excruciating - if she interviewed coaches and players of different teams in the same way, professionally, then I wouldn't have an issue. As it stands though, she's a reporter who clearly dislikes the Seahawks and will spin everything that happens both pre and during the game into something negative.
After the week we've had in the media I do not want to have to listen to her twisting things during the game, and make no mistake - she will do.
I don't usually rant sorry and i'm not saying Pam is a bad person or making any comments os her outside of her job. But as a reporter she is severely liable to stirring things up and undermining our team.
