They didn't play the part where Chiarelli said nice things about Feaster/Iggy. Maybe that's how they spun the coverage to get more fan reaction. I will need to watch the full presser to know the truth.

Absolutely, the media headlines, quotes, and sound bytes, make it look like there's a lot more anger than there is. A huge confrontation is a better story than the truth, and it's what fans seem to want to hear so they can continue be mad instead of accepting the situation. Grownups explaining a cluster*&% in a reasonable way while showing regret for the situation and respect for those involved is a lot less sexy than headlines that basically amount to 13 year old pointing and shouting FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!
