Charles Gnarwin posted:Are you getting on them for covering MMA, which has been a part of the Observer since the sport's inception? Nope just weight cutting talk doesn't have to be talked about at every opportunity for 20-35 minutes every podcast. If it is noteworthy or topical cool. But often it is rolled out as filler content.

rovert posted:Give one example of this. Several on the last 3 pages of this thread pressedbunny posted:To be honest, Meltzer is such a lovely journalist—even when his facts are 100% right, his writing is terrible—that I'm quite happy to have my fingers crossed for rovert on this one, even if for no reason other than to seee Meltzer eat poo poo again. I mean I'm not gonna stan for the guy, his prose is bad sometimes to the point of incomprehensible, and he's got a huge blindspot when it comes to his own biases, but his long form analysis is often great, and his historical retrospectives are fascinating, even if his multi part obituaries are left unfinished. Comparing that to the actual fabrication and/or hate speech in the Sun is way off. And if you want an equivalent of the Guardian, Uproxx can provide your fill of badly thought out hypocritical middle class whining

For record TomWaitsForNoMan offered no example of me doing this when requested In the recent past I've accused of being overly defensive of Meltzer reporting. keevo posted:Remember when rovert said Summer was legit mad at Rusev and Lana because of the veins on her neck when she cut a promo? https://twitter.com/RealSummerWWE/status/683132852469403648 NotQuiteQuentin posted:dave's outright taken jae's writing from iheartdg so many times that unless he's actually reviewing a dragon gate show, i skip the entire section.

I liked when rovert accused some female writer of causing a scene at a Chikara show and getting tossed out, to which Chikara called BS on.

rovert posted:Meltzer has used other people's reporting without crediting them before. It isn't a controversial statement. When called out he often corrects it the next issues but he still does it and frequently. He gets paid a lot of money to dig dirt on fake fighting.

I can't think of anything less I'd like to read more in this thread than a Rovert vs Big Dave discussion. I saw 100 new posts in this thread today thinking I'd see all kinds of Big E bombs, but instead I get like one picture of Sheamus and a guy who got fired for not beating his wife.
