TSN apologized yesterday. Please show me what Phaneuf/Cuthberth/Lupul have done in the past 20 hours to cause the story to continue.




See above, the Tweet had already been sent all over the place, so this was objectively false even before they lawyered it. In fact, it is specifically because this is false that they lawyered up.
The internet is not the MSM. The main stream media would not have been able to publish anything about the incident. But they can write stories now since it's been legitimized by bringing lawyers into it. Give the media more to talk about and a reason to print the story.
