Is Missoulian Tone Deaf or Malicious or Dumb?

[Washgrizfan1]

What do you think?

Selvig non-story

Foundation private equity investments - relied on the faulty research of a college student - mistakes and inaccuracies - strong rebuttal from Foundation

Krakauer gets positive stories; MT higher ed usually doesn't

Chelsea Bodnar non-story about putting a consultant in touch with departments at UM - didn't print rebuttal from Clay Christian

Seth Bodnar non-story on resume - played it up even though both West Point and GE said his resume, which was not a CV, was correct (at those things were at the bottom of the original article)

Hauck rehiring stories - never challenge the basic inaccurate premise of critics - printed some inaccurate stuff/article(s)

The endless Jordan Johnson coverage

Some of the past UM athletic sexual assault stuff, including rumors and inaccurate insinuations

What else?

...yes...
...and yes...

Going out on a limb here and guess all three.

Dumb was using a newspaper man's written words in a speech

You mean using the words of a writer who probably got much of his information from the coach, i.e. the coach who recruited her, coached her, and believed in her? I wonder if Selvig will ever speak at a graduation or similar event in Missoula again.

Saw this “story” last night and I couldn’t believe it was a story. The Missoulian is on track with their transition to being the local National Enquirer.

Much of what was dumb about it....he should have been able to speak off the cuff about that person/situation so I can't figure out why he would use/need the article stuff.

He owned his mistake so kudos to him for that and I bet if he does do anymore speeches he will think before he speaks.

Okay, great. But next time start your own thread if you're going off topic, or use the earlier thread that Ihad started. This one was about the Missoulian? See title of thread. Ha.

Ok....Missoulian wasn't dumb (as was questioned in thread title)....he was. The Missoulian was pretty petty however

Ha Ha

Not dropping names like I'm a corporate lawyer (why does the hearse horse snicker when carting the lawyer away) but I've met many members of the Selvig family. They are top shelf people, everyone of them.

Yes, the Missoulian is getting nowhere getting after Robin Selvig. Why anyone buys the rag is beyond me. Same for the Lee-owned Billings Gazette.

 

[statler & waldorf]

Perhaps we could get UM to refuse to lease a skybox to the Missoulian??? What goes around, comes around.

 

[lshaneg]

You may have noticed the Missoulian (and Billings Gazette) have stopped allowing comments. It just didn't look good to have public comments presenting facts and calling out bias.

The fact that anyone is surprised is fucking ridiculous. A news outlet with their head so far up their liberal ass does a shitty job. This is literally why that turd gets to say fake news and people believe him. Everyone would love to believe those people are just idiots, but the news does such a shitty job that they’re not wrong.

Its like the Missoulian was hitting a low viewership (even lower than usual) and in their weekly meetings they were like how could we get an immediate uptick????? Hmmmmm

I got it, lets go after the states most beloved coach and all around stand up guy!!! That should get some views!!

Its sickening really.

 

[MissoulaMarinerFan]

...Its sickening really.

And really not at all surprising. :|

If I was only smart enough to link my picture from last Friday's Missoulian.....two headlines on the front page:

#1) Montana spellers make mark

#2) Ballot drive-though offered

WTF is a "drive though"? They should hire a speller or two at the Zoolian!!
