Lol! Thanks for further evidence that you’re a complete hack that has no business in the media, Tim.

Is there a reporter alive in 2021 that actually does due diligence before they spat off bull**** that misleads people? Doubtful.
 
Regardless of everyone's view on Reynolds and/or DBC, this is emblematic of a greater issue.

We have a class of reporters who do good work. Reynolds and Barry Jackson are my favorites because they are indeed well-sourced and Reynolds especially can be funny on Twitter. Other beat writers fill a role that's been around in the sports industry for a long time, and these writers are very protective of their roles -- especially in a media landscape in flux. I don't need to name names or outlets.

On the flip side, there is a whole new subset of media (online, digital, blog, podcast, non-newspaper, etc.), and beyond that, independent fan personalities who cover the team as a hobby. While these people don't cover the program from a traditional means, they're often just as well-sourced than the legacy writers, perhaps even more so. Again, I won't name names.

This scares the traditional reporters because if other people have better scoops, then why would anyone read their writing? Reynolds and Barry do have some good sources in the program and on the BOT. But some of the non-traditional media types have good relationships with players and recruiting sources and in turn, real information competing the with more mainstream reporting. And as a result, some of the media members do look down on other credentialed media, quasi-media or even rank and file fans who may or may not have information.

A professional journalist picking on a mentally challenged fan. Very very low.
DBC is a huge fan and this is not an act, but he has absolutely no sense of humor.(part of his illness)

Yea I was gonna say, Reynolds is playing a dangerous game in today's "cancel culture"

DBC does without a doubt have issues. I laugh at what I read bc I have sick humor, but my morals don't allow me to be involved in the jokes.

To each their own tho lol.

In general that explains everything that is wrong in the media. They have to sensationalize everything to compete with social media, as more people get their news via sm platforms. Not about truth anymore. Being first, pushing false narratives, etc. The elitist will always look down on the commoner.

If the spectrum had a spectrum he'd be on the spectrum next to those two spectrums.

That said, it seems like DBC's interaction with the "real" world might largely be on Twitter and Reynolds is a scumbag for doing this- especially so within a professional setting on his end.
 
The fact that Tim Reynolds got involved is funny, but not at the expense of DBC. This guy bleeds Orange and Green, as we all do. I, for one, feel for him. This may not be a popular response but we should be kind to those that clearly are on a different level, like him. We should also be lifting up DBC in this one as mainstream media is quoting a “local guy”...and that is why we are getting a kick out of it. My initial response was pure laughter too, but think about it. He doesn’t seem like the type to harm anyone, but yet he is getting the raw end of everyone. He doesn’t realize that he is making more of a scene than the initial call out but he isn’t aware enough and know how to handle it. I don’t want to be affiliated with something that will cause him harm or make him harm himself. Who else has been referenced by mainstream media here? Give the guy a break.
