Re: Skins vs. The Post

I can't say I'll ever consider skins.com a "real" news source considering it has at least a perceived conflict of interest. Just about anything I read on there seems fluffy and lacking. I don't think they use it to spread disinformation(except maybe around draft time but that is forgiveable) but it is not really very forthcoming with news. As for the post; I have no problem with them doing real reporting and not bowing to the skins on stories but unfortunately they're skins coverage has suffered greatly since Nunyo took the reigns on coverage. I actually believe he is just executing his marching orders to be more agressive with the skins since apparently the post editors felt Maske had gotten too cozy but I think they have started sacrificing honest, truthful and vetted reporting in the name of bombastic and entertaining reporting. The whole issue with Coles is obviously the best example. I honestly believe he'd still be a skin had the post not gotten involved before it had the story straight. Now the team and the fans suffer because they reported a story knowing only half the details.
