Any bets on whether Mr. Shannon spent time in Ms. Shalala's office today?

You honestly think she didn't know what he was like before this article? She may dress him down for PC's sake but when you employ someone like that to be a molder of young men in an institution of higher learning you are 100% responsible for whatever trouble he brings on you.
Retract whatever they want, it doesn't change what was said or the insight that gives us into his charachter.

Personally, I do not practice the habit of going back and taking back anything that was said in a Q&A. But coach Shannon's comments about former Florida Gator Walter Odom being shot and killed on campus at the University of Florida were incorrect. He also made several comments about crime at other schools, including Ohio State. Since, he was generalizing and not necessarily being accurate with his quote, The Herald has decided to take that portion of the interview down too. We pride ourselves on being an accurate and reliable source for news and insight. And we're not going to publish false or unsubstantiated statements. We apologize for not making the necessary changes sooner. There will be a correction.

Um, bull[censored].
The quotes from Shannon were "accurate and reliable" - he did say those things in the interview, even if the statements themselves were "false or unsubstantiated". The Herald originally reported the news correctly, and now they are being "inaccurate and unreliable" because they have purged Shannon's quotes.
In other words, the "news" is what Shannon actually said. His statements were "newsworthy" regardless of whether those statements standing alone were "accurate and reliable" or "false or unsubstantiated". When the Herald edited out Shannon's objectionable statements, they essentially manufactured the news to suit their own agenda, and to Hell with journalistic integrity.
Congrats to Coach Shannon for taking coaching to a new low, and props to the Miami Herald for taking journalism to a new low in order to protect Shannon.

Its really inexcusable that this is not getting more play anywhere else. Has ANYONE even mentioned it in the national media? Taking shots at VT is just an absolute low in my book.

I am not trying to stick up for the Herald but I belive they are trying to say they are not interested in posting Shannon's lies and misinformation. Props to them I guess but maybe a better thing to do was to start up a story about the new coach of Thug U is bat[censored] crazy and a lair.

I disagree. Shannon's quotes should be preserved and the disclaimer added to the article/interview. He should have to own up to his statements. Luckily, nothing on the internet ever really goes away. So the Herald can delete all they want to try to cover for scUM South, but those quotes are out there now and won't go away. |
