the media divide

first post cut me some slack, but there is a few disturbing things in media land

first there was Jason Quick pulling out Nate Gate.. I can't exactly put this all on Quick but it doesn't seem like he accurately relayed the feeling of the conversation which lead to the article, making it appear that this was some actual contract negotiations when in fact it was just conversational.

in this interview he appears a bit ticked at how blown out of proportion this whole thing has become link

and now from big suck's blog link

After getting a look at him over the last few days, the word is the Blazers are a bit stunned by how less far along Bayless is than they thought.

with the blazers endorsing 95.5 the game, It is easy to see why 1080 might feel a bit jilted

and with Quick being a somewhat regular on 1080 along with being on the receiving end of some bad intel from the blazers on draft night, have the blazers set themselves right in the middle of a media turf war,

do you guys think the other side of the media essentially pulling a rabbit out of a hat and making life harder on the blazers than it needs to be.

if there is one thing i am sure of, it is that Nate will be less candid with his words after this, i'm not saying that the media should only report the positive, just don't go inventing news, and accurately relay the context in which things were relayed to you, that is their job and not Nates.
