I agree with the mods..let's get back on track with dissecting Jenkins' latest piece of tripe.

Matty-yes we can now set our watches again. Sally has chimed in and the universe is right once again.

Smoot-exactly what I was thinking. While I don't lend a lot of credence to what Carter says I also don't think he is a dumbass. In this case though it sounds more like someone speaking off the cuff and not really thinking about it. How does he know how all those coahces deal with this stuff? I doubt he really does. Just spouting off it seems to me.

On the whole she does raise some interesting points that I would tend to agree with slightly but she clearly roots all of her assertions in bias and agenda. She doesn't like Snyder and doesn't really like the Skins. Who cares? It is not her job to like them. But it is also not her job to DISLIKE them and commit to bash whenever she feels like it or it is convenient. Pieces like this would get a lot more respect from me if she didn't wait until turbulent times (or perceived turbulent times) to write pieces on the Skins. It just seems like she waits until it is opportune to bash them and never writes anything positive even when things are going well. That's crap. Journalists don't get the luxury of having their pieces stand alone. Look at the body of work and if it shows bias and agenda then you have to discount everything accordingly. It is the same with Pastabelly. He writes decent stuff a lot but he also writes a ton of crap and not just about the Skins. It is why he has so is losing respect with many.
