ok, lets assume that malik had gone to ole miss and had the exact same type season he had playing for us. lets also assume that kellenberger had the same opinion that he had in his "malik newman should go to the NBA" article and is a relatively new journalist to the scene. a) does that article ever get written? b)what would the backlash from om fans be? c) the week after, is kellenberger looking for a new job? i think we all know the answers, but this is based on the assumption that kellenberger actually believed all the crap he wrote, which in itself, is a stretch. its disappointing how much the local media is trying to downplay the bias and excuse it away as a journalist just giving an unbiased opinion. i think its fair to use the riley blevins backlash as a good jumping off point of what potentially could happen, which begs the question, why the double standard if there is no agenda? how are the reality of what happened to blevins and my hypothetical different? simple answer, they arent, except for the fact that kellenberger has put his time in as an om mouthpiece and has probably earned the right to slip up and report the truth from time to time if he were so inclined to do so.

im half shocked that we havent seen a "howland should take the Pitt job" article yet.

a local afternoon show her in the jackson area was defending kellenberger's actions yesterday, but where was the defense of a fellow media member when he gets skinned alive for reporting on the tunsil situation, of which, 100% became proven fact. we need to just accept that we have very few if any major media outlets that are neutral towards msu. its a disgrace, but we arent really in a position to do anything about it. i hope that changes, but expect more of what we are getting for the foreseeable future.

Kellenbooger would have already "found a better job" if he had written that article about an OM player.

I say no it doesn't get written, because, hell he is the 17'n beat writer for 17'n OM. And he is supposed to have some semblance of journalistic integrity, but that fatass red-cup chugging Bjork-blower is by no means the only one. Journalism as it should be has gone the way of of the dodo. Its all about getting clicks with a eye-grabbing headline to preserve their paycheck; research and facts be damned. I hate to quote Jon Stewart but his two-word description for 21st century journalism was spot on. Lazy Sensationalism. And for 17 sake, beat writers should cover, well,... their mother 17'n beat.

i may be wrong, but i thought he was off the om beat. but he WAS, which is just as bad. they control the message....there is no doubt about that. he is a fat piece of the information machine and he does his part.

You may be right, haven't read his crap or the clarion liar in quite some time. Got fed up with the obvious slant a long time ago

He's the sports editor, which makes it 10 x worse than if he was the Msu beat writer.
