I don't doubt that she's genuine in what she's saying, I just didn't give a flying #### what she has to say. And it sounds like I'm targeting Tara Sloane, and that's really only because she's being talked about in this thread. Really, I also mean Greg Wyshinski, who was unlistenable on the latest episode of Puck Soup I was listening to this morning, or Adam Wylde from the Steve Dangle Podcast I was listening to yesterday, who is
consistently unlistenable, but
especially when he tries to hold himself out as having some important viewpoint about some social issue, and all the rest of the people who think their personal feelings about this should be important to anyone but them and the people they interact with in their personal lives.
These people are not some sort of fonts of wisdom or public intellectuals whose input we should care about. They do not matter in the slightest. They're opportunistically attempting to bolster their own personal brands by spouting off, as if to say, "hey, pay attention to what I think about this! Don't forget about me! My personal feelings and emotions are important, indulge me! Give me affirmation!" It's obnoxious and distasteful. Allan Walsh is the perfect example of this crap, he's totally self-serving.
Some NHL reporters are, of course, doing a good job here, and asking the right questions of the people who are the subject of the story. But for every one of them, there are ten who won't ask Duncan Keith, "hey, you said you weren't interviewed - is that because you declined to be" or "Mr. Quenneville, in light of the revelations in the report this evening, why did you decide to coach tonight" - or won't apply the required pressure to persist and demand answers to those questions. It bugs the crap out of me. I don't give a damn what
you think or how
you feel; find out what the facts are and report them.
