MYTH #5 – PETERSON TRIED TO GET PEOPLE IN THE MEDIA WHO CRITICIZED HIM.
In general the media has always had a problem - sports talk radio is the worst offender – in that they believe they are allowed to have an opinion about administrators, coaches and athletes, but those people are not allowed to have an opinion about the abilities, veracity and work ethic of those in the media.
Turns out that Peterson and the Chiefs were well ahead of the curve when it came to questioning the media. The public has followed and thus we have newspapers like the Kansas City Star bleeding money and slicing employees left and right. Thus, we have radio and televisions stations slashing payrolls and coverage. Thanks to the availability and diversity of the Internet, the public has learned their local outlets are frequently out of step, biased and mistake-prone. They’ve found other avenues of finding informed opinion, rather than columns and commentary based on personal agendas.

Because a story can not possibly be true or have merit unless it originates from the official web site or other select mouthpieces of the organization.
And now the media is cutting jobs because they dared question the great and all powerful Carl Peterson.
