If it is true, then yes, I share all of your same concerns. I just don't see how so many people can let the media steer their thought process any which direction they want, whether it's about football or anything else.
Stories, quotes, etc. can be spun however people want to spin them. Some are very good at it, too.
Not sure if you saw my comment about ESPN and the UFC from an earlier post, but ESPN aired their piece about it this morning, and Dana White already posted a clip that they so conveniently left out. It's already interesting. He'll be posting their full interview footage before long. We can all probably get a good sample of what the media can do by looking at that sample.

No, that's not true. For most of the concerns, Donovan or Farmer or a current associate admit that the stories are true. In other stories, e.g. the Denny Thum bit, he was careful to disclose that not all sources had been contacted. Even with the "tapping" of communications, he has multiple sources from Hunt to the HR person giving statements of denial that they do not know of any of that activity going on.
While the article does skew to one opinion, it is very balanced in that most issues were allowed to be addressed by the counter-party. This is more than just some one-sided argument. The Chiefs offered a counter-point to most points--it's up to the general public to decide which side they believe, but it seems to me that Babb used fair enough quotes from the counter-party to build their case in an effective way.
