BuffaloBill Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 Traditionally the media was made up of well understood outlets. You knew who was covering your team and the range of choices (at least by comparison today) was pretty limited. Now, anyone with the desire to do so, Internet access and a device can present themselves as media covering the team. What are your thoughts on the proliferation of these types of outlets? Who is good, who is bad and where is this phenomena just ugly?
The Wiz Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 (edited) I trust Astro's camp notes more than any official media outlet. Edited July 24, 2016 by The Wiz
GunnerBill Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 I trust Astro's camp notes more than any official media outlet. Me too.
Blokestradamus Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 Oh, I hate these guys that sit at home and think they know football enough to give an informed opinion.
hondo in seattle Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 90% of the time that stuff is garbage. True, but it's the other 10% that's interesting. I trust Astro's camp notes more than any official media outlet. Astro's camp notes belong in the other 10%.
Mike in Horseheads Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 For better or worse the whole social media that we live in now has changed everything rather it be politics, crime or sports. Anybody with a outlet (PC, Tablet,Phone) can throw **** at the wall and if it sticks its news rather its factual or not.
Rico Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 I trust takes/info of those who have a track record of being right, and I dismiss those who have a track record of being wrong. If I don't know them, they have to prove their accuracy first.
bacarri and coke Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 I'm interested to know if anyone has someone in this category they like to read.I'm always looking for interesting takes and good info on the Bills.List a few if you guys have some.+1 on Astros camp notes being great.
Saxum Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 90% of the time that stuff is garbage. Promo overrates 90% of it.
maddenboy Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 (edited) I trust Astro's camp notes more than any official media outlet. truth. and to add substance to a post, there are lots and lots of us who cant WAIT for promo's camp reports. I'd say that counts as a media source. kinda. He doesnt hold himself out as media per se, but he performs that function for a small group of us. Edited July 25, 2016 by maddenboy
