The scoop showdown in San Antonio: print vs. broadcast



We didn’t realize these guys moved
to San Antonio.

There’s nothing we love more than a good cat fight…unfortunately, we have nothing to report on the cat fight front, but we did find a Texas sized war of words deep in the heart of San Antonio. Turns out that local TV station KSAT stole all the credit for breaking the “P.J. Carlesimo to coach Seattle” story, when in reality, it was the San Antonio Express-News who originally discovered that P.J. was jumping from assistant in S.A. to numero uno man in Seattle.

This, unfortunately, has become standard practice at KSAT, where (Larry) Ramirez, Greg Simmons and David Sears are more comfortable deceiving their viewers than they are practicing real journalism. Real journalism would entail developing sources and contacts, doing a little work on your own. Apparently that’s too complicated for this trio.

So, for all you aspiring journalists out there, be sure to give credit where credit is due or you could find yourself getting slammed by the name-calling Express-News too.

But Larry, Greggy and Davey have set a whole new standard for laziness, thievery and ineptness. And until the three stooges at KSAT man up and admit they are incapable of doing their own reporting, we’ll recognize them as journalism miscreants, a species that some day, hopefully, will become extinct.

Can’t we all just get along?

Don’t believe everything you read! — Did it ever occur you to the writer of this little blog that perhaps the idiot from the Express News was lying.
Well gah lee.
Do you believe everything you read?
If so you are lacking brain cells.
I have seen every clip aired by the KSAT 12 Sports department regarding the “scoop” in question and Greg did in fact credit the paper every single time it aired!
Perhaps if the sports editor who wrote the article had actually watched the sports anchors he slammed, he would have known that and he wouldn’t have defamed the character of a well know, well respected sports team.
The paper should be ashamed and the sports editor should be fired.
