Sadly, today's media isn't even about journalism anymore. It's more about gotcha stories and finding ways to interject themselves into the story.

Journalism lost its way to sensationalism long ago. However, writers are in a very tough position as a result of their job, now days with digital media and instant access makes it that much harder. There are some who stick with integrity and quality work...then there are the Joe Person's of the world.

Gotta be Lafell story. From what and how I saw TD and Lafell interact at Taste of the Panthers, they're pretty close.

[AggieLean.]

Yea, it's from the Lafell story. Lafell just retweeted what TD wrote.

TD is a super nice guy so Person really cross the line there.

[Jackofalltrades]

TD also isn't the type to do this publicly, so I imagine that whatever it was had been addressed in private also.

Joe Person is a dick, every time I've ever tried to interact for him. Not sure this is his long-term fit. He would have more passion for covering fashion shows or something. Don't they have media for that?

Have you seen his little soul patch? He would only be good at covering fashion shows from 1997.

What LaFell story are you all talking about? Been out of the loop for the last couple of days.

One that cites allegations about him being behind on child support payments to a baby mamma in Houston.

As much as I dislike Person I dislike that new guy even more. You can just tell he doesn't give a fug about the team. I really miss the days when Darin Gant and Steve Reed were the main guys.

Agreed, I really miss those two.

I think Person and Rivera will be on the same train out of Charlotte come black monday.

Tough guy Joe blocked me from twitter because I asked him what he did to piss TD off...Hes too worried about what people think of him instead of writing decent stories. What a baby.

How do you know when you've been blocked?

When Joe Person is interviewed about the Panthers it literally sounds like he is exhailing at the same time he is talking as if he is just ready to end it.. did they interview this dude?
