Yesterday, WIRED learned that Madison Square Garden was suing us for our accurate reporting.
We stand by our work. That’s why we’re removing the paywall from two of the MSG stories they don’t want you to read, making them free for everyone.
Man this sucks to go out like this. From the opening whistle it was all Belgium today. Just not good enough today all the way around for the #usmnt. Belgium came to play today and looked better than they had looked all tournament so credit to them.
Here’s what I don’t get about the Jaylen Brown trade: you hold back on trading draft picks for Giannis, who likely would’ve wanted an extension and cost more $$ than Jaylen.
And then you trade Jaylen Brown as a salary dump for PG to save $60+M in the middle of Tatum’s prime.
If corporations allow you to sign up with one click, you should be able to cancel with one click too.
Subscription traps, whether from an app or gym membership, are just another way corporations take advantage of working people.
We've already put hundreds of companies on notice. This week, we proposed a rule that would make NYC a national leader in cracking down on abusive practices that nickel-and-dime New Yorkers.
The Athletic has a very strict code of conduct policy and editorial guidelines that are in lockstep w/ The Times.
Their top priorities are:
•Editorial Independence
•Credibility
•Avoiding conflicts of interest
That includes avoiding even the appearance of a conflict of interest in order to maintain credibility.
These are typically laid out in the employee handbook or in your contract.
I’m highlighting this because too many people are hung up on “the pictures aren’t evidence they slept together” no they don’t show them sleeping together but the pictures show the appearance of a conflict of interest for a journalist.
This is a violation of The Athletics Editorial Guidelines
It’s SOP for The Athletic to sideline a reporter and launch an internal investigation when something like this comes to light.
They need to determine whether or not there is an appearance of bias and if it alters the trust of the public.
It’s critical she is honest during this time as The Athletic is pressing for proof that they were there with a group of 6 as she previously stated.
The investigation will include:
•Coverage of the Patriots
•Time with ESPN/ Titans to determine if there is a pattern of a conflict of interest with Vrabel before she joined The Athletic
•The vetting of Ran Carthon
•Her reporting vs other insiders (this is very interesting to compare)
•The Morgan Moses error
They will look for:
Undisclosed bias, Favoritism in her scoops & post Vrabel firing coverage.
They will need to determine if her professional integrity was compromised by:
•Looking into communication logs
•Establishing a timeline for personal vs professional communication
•Finding out if the “Group of 6” exists
•Figuring out if she disclosed a “close personal relationship” with Vrabel to the editors
•Conducting interviews with witnesses/sources
This will or at least should be an extensive investigation and could take months. Her contract expires in Aug.
Once again thank you for coming to my TED Talk 🗣️
I hope some of you find the info useful!
I could make a compelling argument that Kobe was never the best player in the league in any season never mind for a decade straight. And nobody at the time thought he was, at least outside LA.
The Chicago Bulls are waiving guard Jaden Ivey after his recent anti-LGBTQ comments amid several rants on religion and other topics, sources tell ESPN.
