Bill Voth calls fake news on David Newton

[WarPanthers89]

And we wonder why we have huddlers who bring up “sources” who claim Cam refuses to get an MRI or has nothing wrong with his shoulder at all....David Newton could be the source.

[Moo Daeng]

Huddlers are  ot talking to Dave Newton I can promise you that. He would be a respected source compared to simple fabricated lies.

Haha love David Newton getting called out.  How he still has a job at ESPN is astounding to say the least

YES. He is terrible.

You know how many clicks this is going to get? Newton just made ESPN BANK. That’s why he’s one of their best.

Sad and true, but it ruins his credibility when he gets called out.

ESPN Panthers reporter David Newton speculates Cam Newton could sit out the entire 2019 season if he undergoes another shoulder operation.

It's pure speculation, and not particularly informed, though owner David Tepper also casually mentioned the possibility of Newton sitting out in 2019. "If you told me he took a year off and could recover and be fully recovered and everything else, and that's what it took, an extra year, why wouldn't you do that," Tapper asked rhetorically on Tuesday. At least as of January, that scenario does not seem particularly likely. Newton is opting for rest and rehab before deciding on his second operation in three years.

To who? Fans still read him. He’s quoted throughout the thread about the meeting with Tepper. Calling him out is the right thing to do - good on Bill - but how does it really affect Newton or ESPN?

Does it, though?

In a world where journalistic integrity matters, it might.

In a world where clicks and views are king, not so much.

Not only is Bill the most thorough (and perhaps nicest) journalist covering the Panthers, he’s not afraid to go full-savage mode in calling Newton out on his bullshit. The rare and refreshing case of “scribe on scribe crime”

Good on you, Voth.

Nicest? Well that’s a first...

Lol the fight continues......

Oh, snap! 

During my first camp working media for Entercom (and my lil’ engine that could Panthers blog), Voth was one of the few guys shared advice and helped promote my work.  Hell, maybe he’s a dick. Haven’t seen him in a while. But my interactions have always been pleasant.
