Pissing Match between the Post and the Redskins

Apparently the Post got the Ryan Clark information from the Associated Press News Wire. Still that's no excuse. First rule of journalism Always Check Your Sources

"Correction to This Article
The print edition of this story erroneously reported that Washington Redskins would be releasing defensive back Ryan Clark. The Redskins said Monday that they did not plan to release the defensive back. This version has been corrected to reflect that information. "

the problem is over the last 40 years media has put a much bigger emphasis on reporting things FIRST, and not reporting them correctly. This happens all the time, and I hate it.

the media also has problems explaining things like technology, since many columnists are NOT tech experts, they misunderstand or poorly explain what they write about, or copy talking points (even illogical ones) from parties with strong biases for or against the subject at hand.

Oh boy oh boy!!! I hope the post goes at it full time against Swanson. Truth be told, Danny boy has done good things and bad things for the team's product. He does, however, seem to have a bunch of yes men in his PR department. I think these do more harm than good to the team and hope that this little dust-up makes Danny realize that, little napoleon that he may be, honesty and integrity go a longgggg way to improving profits.

Yes, he makes his millions of the team but I think there would be more to be made if he could get on the media's good side (If everybody starts liking him and talking up the Skins, more fair weather fans buy stuff). Conversely, Swanson's tactics will ensure that the only way Danny and the Skins get press is when the team screws up.

Essentially, I just hate "yes" men and millionares who are so insecure as to need them.

I hate to make clear observations but has anyone seen any of Danny's boys at the stadium? Clean cut white kids with white business shirts and blue or black 2 piece suits. Looks like the guys that go into neighborhoods for the church of later day saints.(Mormons) This is just a observation. Is there diversity in his PR department I wonder?
