“Expect them to continue to dog this story until they’ve sniffed out the truth.”
That’s completely wrong. The media will dog the story to confirm their own biases regardless of the facts.
The Pats are being Palinized. They hate Belichick because he treats the media with obvious disdain.
Belichick had a press conference yesterday where he described in detail how balls are readied for games and how the pressure could drop shifting from indoors to outdoors. It was factually based and puts the ball, so to speak, in the NFL’s court, to prove otherwise.
Last night, Some idiot on ESPN radio, Jonathan Hood, ignored everything Belichick said and asked, “How could the Pats put themselves in this position,” as if the Pats invented the controversy themselves and assuming, from the get go, that the Pats did something wrong. . . without one shred of evidence.
“I can see Russia from my house” and the “Pats are cheaters” derives from the same media mindset. . . that certain people, ideas, teams whatever. . . . are to be demonized.
I think one only has to look at the “Gate” tacked on to everything. Liberalism at its apogee was the source of that, and I think it is revealing when people use it...liberally.
