The Press and Accountability

[MHS831]

I came to the realization when thumbing through all the mounds of media experts comments and breaking news: There is more accountability here at the Huddle than in the mainstream media. They say anything they want and back it by unnamed sources. Here, you better have the facts and links or you get eaten alive. Even if you do, your sources better be credible.

THe unfortunate thing is this: We have to rely on the info they feed us for the most part.

I think we should attack facts presented that are not supported. That is cool and productive. However, too many on here attack opinions that are not like their own. That can also be productive, if you use facts to support your own and have intelligence to respect and consider other perspectives. I hate to see the peons who attack without counterpoints or the maturity to do so without getting personal. Their minds are closed, and closed minds don't get smarter. Then enter the mindless Hyenas to distribute pie to a brain-dead prick who uses personal sarcastic jabs to hide his ignorance while exposing his childishness. Middle Schoolers are excused from judgement here, but nobody else (And mentally handicapped people).

So, we have two factions at work. The first faction is the group that strengthens the fabric created by the sharing of opinion into fact, and the second group--the one that didn't read this far but are preparing a rebuttal-- will have to be filtered out by the intelligent.

Thanks to those of you who know how to support facts and differ in opinion without childish trashing. I get a lot of information from the Huddle but get tired of the immaturity that leaks into good threads at times.

You make a good point. There a lot of comments on here that make me feel like an NFL guru which I do not claim to be.

I lurk here for info. and appreciate getting the latest scoop. I trust what I find out here more than the media any day.

I pretty much exclusively look here for NFL/Panthers information - specifically certain members that always back up their information with facts and links and what not.

sometimes those opinions need attacked.. but great thread..

Some people do make stuff too personal on here and it's a shame, but it's people arguing about a game over and over again so it's bound to happen. You can just block people if they get too annoying (looking at you JakeDelhomme17).

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. We get our "scoops" from the media.

About 60% of the threads I start is to try to get people to think outside the box (so 90's). But I like seeing great discussions in which people use their brains and not some tired line heard from the media.

I thought the Huddle was for thread derailment and awesome intel on the unknown hotties of the world.

The kids call it paradigm shifting. The kids are weird.

Sure but if the media is full of poo we find that out here don't we?

[The Saltman]

must not say anything.

I should add that we have in common should never be overcome by petty differences. We are all Panther fans, we just go about it differently. '

We have to get our scraps from the media's table, but we do a better job of chopping off the fat and bs than they do.
