Eleven Warriors

Some people would. It's called intellectual honesty.

I would admit it. I like to be intellectually honest. The problem is, Dohrmann ran with a character assassination piece with essentially one anonoymous source. Every journalism school teaches that journalistic ethics call for at least three sources should they wish to remain anonymous, or one source that is willing to go on the record with his/her identity. Aside from that, if a single source comes forward that wishes to remain anonymous, then that unnamed source must provide some hard evidence or records or at least lead the journalist to another source willing to go on the record. These were the sorts of journalistic standards Woodward and Bernstein followed. They didn't rush to the WaPost to write an article based solely on Deep Throat's conversations. Deep Throat led them to other evidence and persons that would allow them to expose a scandal with solid facts. They never ran with the story until they verified what Deep Throat had told them. Dohrmann is a whore who wanted to help SI sell magazines (probably to get himself a bonus) on the basis of one anonymous source's words. I know, that's a strong statement. But his anonymous source has yet to come forward, despite the dust having been settled. Not to mention many of the accusations in the article were proved to be false.

I don't think Dohrmann has a bias against tOSU. I just think he's a profiteer masquerading as a journalist. I have no qualms with anyone who wants to make money. I have a problem with "second handers" who hide behind journalistic shield laws to make money at the expense of other peoples' reputations.

I think that's always kind of been the challenge.  Haven't journalists always put their own spin and bias on a subject?  Now a days it's easier than ever to get as many different perspectives on a given topic as possible to form an educated opinion, althought I would guess that mostly like in years past people are going to believe it because it's in the paper(while they are still around), on the idiot box, or the internet.
