I'm not saying... I'm just sayin.

Just as an etiquette FYI, though - you shouldn't copy and paste the whole article over here, you can just use an excerpt or highlight. Web revenue is based on clicks, and if the whole article is here, readers don't have an incentive to click and read the original.
Edit - oops, bouje beat me to it. Sorry for repeating.

This should be the go to article for anyone making an argument against Rosenberg to the Sparties, Domers, Buckeyes or whomever else. Nice work.

Great link, steve. Thank you.

This perfectly explains the problems with the FP article. Thanks for pointing to it because I did not see it until you did.

I think this is even more devastating a critique than Chait's. Taken together, they destroy what Snydenberg wrote.

Hey Rosenburg, would you like some ice for that burn? Seriously, that was a good critique of the (lack of) journalistic integrity in the article. Good to know that some journalists still care about being fair and balanced.

Nice to see someone in the media call out the Freep in such a clear and concise manner.

There are now 151 one-star reviews of Rosenberg's book, and the average has gone down to 1.5 stars. There were only 97 as of this morning.
Glad to see the public is calling Rosenberg out, too. As far as I can tell, the book had a 4.5 or 5-star rating before the hatchet job came out.

"If Rosenberg did not plainly tell those freshmen and any other interviewees what story he was working on, and what he was interviewing them for, then he was deceitful. I have little respect for any writer or editor who engages in this brand of journalism as a matter of intent."
I would imagine that he doesn't respect Carty's lying to players for his "groundbreaking expose," either.

As you can see, I have removed text. However, rivals isn't a free site, so I wanted everyone to see it. Then again, this is probably why it's not a free site. I wonder if Rosenberg will write an article on me: "Steve Sharik Pirates Article"

since Biakabatuka. He absolutely annihilated the freep.
