Wait ... people are surprised journalists want clicks?

I think it’s more a surprise to hear reporters candidly and casually talking trash about a player

Most all the regular news is compromised trash. Why would sports news be any different?

He just asked questions about it and played it cool but you could tell he was super uncomfortable. 

A team rep/someone who runs these ultimately came into the room and let everyone know (I guess he was also listening from like a media room or something) and explained why they leave them hot. It sounded like standard procedure so idk how the reporters didn’t know this was the case. 

Considering they can barely get the audio level up to an audible volume on a good day, I don't think the sound person could handle adding a mute button into the setup

I hope this starts a trend. These players don’t deserve half the poo they get from media

Like we do 24/7/365? They're allowed to have their own opinions lol.

This guy actually did a nice job of making a 1 hour doc of ESPN inventing/turning into the hot take/click bait machine it is. They must keep Newton employed because they know he has no shame in doing whatever they want to attempt to get clicks. He still sucks at it but the playing dumb factor must give him a pass by the team

I don't know what Newton said about the player, but given that it's their job to write articles that get interest and clicks are interest, I am surprised at the title of the thread

Huddlers saying the same and far worse about our players on a daily basis. I'm sure he peaks around here and knows the audience to cater to.

I have a novel idea for the media. Be one of the few who knows the sport and write about it from that aspect. Stop with the lazy takes.

But it's about the clicks! There's no journalism anymore.  It's all hot takes and opinion pieces.
