I was in the industry on the TV side for 10 years and now happen to freelance on the print side.

I also have several friends who are national names on the sport side you're very familar with.

A bunch of "whistle boys" taking pot shots at and industry they know nothing about.

That would be an industry.

But, we're doing it on OUR site, amongst ourselves.....we're not going to the media or a fan or media forum and throwing the hand grenade over the wall and leaving. JMO.

It is clear to me that you have no point. It is clear to me that you do not want to address what has already been said or what was in my OP. I do not understand why your focus is a fan that will claim officials are cheating for some underhanded reason to a reporter that is in the information business where their job is to inform the public. My job is not to inform the public and I am talking on an officiating website where most people are officials. It is odd to me that you want to compare what we say about a fanboy (which BTW is an internet term to signify how unreasonable someone is about a team or subject). And it is not a pot shot to give a specific example about a very specific situation and give the person who is responsible for the criticism. I guess had been critical of politicians that get in legal trouble, it would have been wrong to talk about the Spitzer case in detail. I do not think you know what the term "general" means.

Peace

Except you missed one very important point. The only area where we are criticizing them is in their coverage of our specific area of expertise. That is far different than criticizing them on their coverage of some activity we've seen on TV and maybe tried in our backyard.
