I agree. Not only is it important to be first but those stories that generate the most clicks make the most money. In this day and age you have to be very sensationalist, be first and generate the most clicks. Truth be damned

Oh boy. No sir. We can't let a typo like that happen here. Consider yourself persona non grata.

Draft TY Hilton’s son so he can carry his father legacy of owning the Texans. 😂

Sports journalism has been crap for a long time. It's more important to be first than accurate. I've seen articles using Twitter accounts as sources. What happened to the old days. Source the intel, interview those involved . Vet the Intel, write the story. With the internet, anyone with a website is a "journalist" it's nonsense. Joseph Pulitzer is rolling in his grave

I'm not a journalist either. I agree that it's best practice to offer the subject a chance to respond. My real point is that I don't think a lack of response from the subject automatically invalidates the information. In this specific situation, I think the information was sensationalized. The initial report shared some nuanced opinions from unnamed sources, which I think is pretty common. The way the story took off from there is probably due to aggregation, for which I don't hold the initial reporter responsible. And what it seems like here is we're pushing back against a "negative" report regarding a player the Colts drafted, rather than taking the information on its merits.
