Re: The Anti-Media Media
I'm not real familiar with Extremeskins (always prefererred this site's more subdued discussions to Extreme's shouting matches) but it would definately bother me if Redskins Adminsistrators are posting there psuedonymously so as to attack and discredit reporters, and I think this article alleges this pretty credibly. Moreoever, this would make the team's purchase of the board particularly insidious.
As for the rants against the media in this thread, I've always been impressed with the Post and Times' coverage. Although not always pro-Skin biased or whatever, I've found it in the past to be generally reliable, well-written, and full of useful information. Although they've often been critical over the years, let's not forget that the Skins have been a losing team for over a decade.
Finally, I'm glad to like a team with the history and local devotion that warrants the amount of coverage the Redskins receive - I mean, there could be no stories at all for us to compalin about
Oh yeah, one last thing. There is something very creepy about rewarding posters who go after reporters with pressbox tickets. Like the sports version of the Gestapo or something. Ick.
