Memphis needs more ethics at the CA
Only those who repeat negative comments in the media either know or should know that repeated opinions can become "facts" over time per Edward Bernays methods. This can be either good or bad. It is bad when used to undermine support of the hometown team. There are those that think it is good for the team to treated in a negative way. It is easy to see these folks do not have the best interests for The University of Memphis, the coaches and the teams.

Ethics? They just need some psychological help

RE: Memphis needs more ethics at the CA
I mean, yes, the CA is a pitiful excuse of a metropolitan newspaper and a mere shell of it's former self of many year ago.

Yes, the CA brass are over paid hacks.

Yes, it should be put out of it's misery and it's upper ranks put out to pasture.

Yes, Calkins is a smug, lofty individual but, at least he CAN write a little bit.

Can't think of one other writer at the CA that I could read a whole article from for several years back.

Since Wolken.

These other guys are just fillers.

Sad, sway back CA.

If you think the University’s sports programs get too little coverage or that the CA is overly negative then you have not had much experience in life.

The tiger basketball team gets more coverage than it deserves. Amazing that some people still blame the messenger.

Yep, it could be worse. They could NOT be writing about us. Which will come first, though, that or the paper folding? Close race, at this point.

Calkins, for the most part, tells it like it is.

So does most of the Tiger-related print, despite the awful product USA Today has transformed our paper into.

Old fashioned ethics is just not happening anywhere in the media these days.

And people barely remember what got them incensed the day before.

We just wanna be fed something to get our outrage going.
Outrage releases dopamine. yum yum
