I think the Bills PR staff will be conscious of how the move would be perceived. As much as they might not like them, the organization needs the media and doesn’t want to give the appearance that they’ll boot you if a reporter asks a critical question.

Everyone must think alike. Surely this will never backfire on society. Long live Big Brother! Seems to me there's a lot of room between "anything I don't like" and broadly painting an entire group of people with the same smear brush. I don't think there's room in a free society where everyone has an equal opportunity, for the latter. I don't think that viewpoint comes anywhere close to "everyone must think alike" or "cancelling" everyone who says "anything I don't like" Edited December 13, 2022 by Beck Water 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many folks confuse journalism and reporting these days with "opinion pieces". If writing devisive opinions for the rise, clicks, and comments you can generate is journalism then all of us here are journalists. Probably not the right forum for this discussion, but not a fan of how many opinion pieces are delivered up as actual reporting and news.

I disagree with his opinion on several grounds but neither my disagreement nor the question of whether it's unanimous is the point. The point is: you made a connection between people disagreeing with Sullivan's viewpoint and "if anyone says anything you don't like you should instantly get them fired from their job and cancelled by the public. Everyone must think alike." Whether your wife couldn't care less about Sullivan's comments does not support the connection you're trying to make 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLFan Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Hopefully, this is the final nail in Sullivan's local sports journalism career. I thought he actually reformed for a while and had gone back to actual sports reporting and balanced analysis, but he just could not help himself and reverted to his stir up controversy where none exists and be a general pain in the butt approach. Last chance I feel pretty sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight Hucklebuck Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Jerry Sullivan’s negative demeanor matched the Bills perfectly in that 2005-2014 timeframe. At the end of Ralph’s time, the Bills were a cheap Mom and Pop shop, not looking for a real GM, hiring low end Coaches and generally clinging to the past. But he’s continued that shtick after the Buffalo News and well into Allen’s accent. Why he still lives here, why he still hovers around this team viewing them through the lens of The Drought, he can’t let go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
