This guy did not even investigate the differences between 2 and 3 from prominent people as to if these things he was complaining about had anything to do with the 3 Person system. To me the standards of journalism were lacking.
And this is what I have seen all my life with the papers I grew up with when it comes to informational pieces from media members.

Even in national or big city media columnists will rip the officiating without trying to look at all sides of the story. We're easy targets.
