I find it laughable that anyone here even remotely associates the Fan with a "journalistic enterprise". They are the rights holders and chief flag wavers of the team. They exist solely because they are the rights holders. To expect them to actually ask King a tough question is naive. Where are the interviews with Duhatschek, or anyone else of his calibre? They don't exist because management knows that those guys will ask the tough questions. I get the hate for Francis but I have to give him credit that he would also ask the tough questions if he had a chance. There is no way King or Feaster expose themselves to that level of scrutiny.
A big part of me agrees that is their right. Fans are to be privy to the on ice product, not how it got there. However, as a fan, and a STH, it would be a nice luxury to get some actual facts out of management.
