Typical Star Negetivity - Page 2

gonzo88 · 01-24-2001, 09:39 AM

In todays sports section (in big bold letters) "CHIEFS RAISE TICKET PRICES". Then below that (in small pipsqueak letters) "Elvis goes to pro bowl". This seems to be the typical star approach to the Chiefs, negetive journalism.

What do you expect from a company that PAYS whitlock for his oppinion.

gonzo--
Two things:

1. The reason Gretz knows what goes on inside of Arrowhead is because [b]he is a Chiefs employee[/b], [i]not[/i] a journalist. Have you seen him cover any other sports in town? No. The Chiefs pay him to be their media outlet.

2. Before you rip on the Star, learn a bit about journalism. The reason the raise in ticket prices got the big headline is because it [i]affects the readers directly[/i]. Elvis going to the PB barely affects them at all. Its a nice fluff piece and all, but has no direct impact on a majority of their readers.

BTW, I personally could care less about you pi$$-poor spelling, although it does hurt your credibility a bit. You can edit, you know.

gonzo, I'm sure $hit and stink are two subjects you know a lot about, since you spend most of your time with your head buried up Carl Peterson's @SS! Applying the "negetive" label to me just shows what an ignorant POS you really are.

Why so critical towards Whitlock???? Truth must hurt real bad.
