Pat will defend the UofU vs eveyone except the Media...

Posted By: Vegas Ute

Bless his heart, Pat is awfully slow to criticize any member of the media.

That noted he has a point... The Utah media is what it is and it is not going to change and "reasonable fan" (if that is not an oxymoron) shouldn't expect (or want) 100% positive coverage. Then it wouldn't be News, it would just be propaganda.

NEW: I get tired of butt-hurt fans whining because local media doesn't kiss our collective Crimson ass in every story. Here's a bit of advice: Make the Harlem Globetrotters your team of choice

NEW: So you're tired of all fans? Last I checked true fans don't like it when someone says anything negative about their favorite team.

NEW: It’s where he states about the butt-hurt and whining. SoCalPat, You are talking to fellow Utes here. Everybody has their opinions. That doesn’t make yours right! (nm)

NEW: I think a better point he is trying to make is that reading guys like Kragthorpe and listening to morons on 1280 doesn't really matter if you object or agree.

NEW: So I'm not a true fan because I let critical observations that carry more than a kernel of truth slide off my back? (nm)

NEW: Pat, until the news comes out that byu is NOT on the schedule next year, most of us are not truly dissociated from them. (nm)

NEW: And you are correct, we do not truly want a fawning media. When things are bad, they should be reported as such.

NEW: The local media are largely responsible for perpetuating the "BYU prism" you're bemoaning, which is the point I believe he was attempting to make.

NEW: The local media doesn't bother me because I don't waste my time reading or listening to them. I challenge others to be local media free for the rest of the month to see if they feel better by August...
