Yellow Journalism capitalizing on Clemson's Fame, writers


Feb 10, 2019, 1:35 PM

are paid by the word. They are sensationalizing the mistakes by their misleading headlines and twisting premature judgements leaving out key words like "trace" and "NCAA approved". Today's darkened headline on top of the Sports Section -
SWINNEY: PEDS MAY HAVE BEEN GIVEN BY MISTAKE
Suspended players may have ingested ostarine in Clemson-issued supplements (subheadline)
Here is an example of a twisted judgemental question:
Later on in article: "Clemson officials have not responded to THE POST AND COURIER emailed Jan. 31 asking what supplements football players were offered during the season and who oversees the distribution."
They quoted the NCAA has saying only ten in 1000 tests have come back positive.

I resent these media ###### who are South Carolina based reporters making money off of our Tigers. When oue players and school are found innocent, which we obviously are, if they do not issue a full-blown apology, I think they ought to be barred from our facilities.

"Journalism" has changed. Seems to be a clickbait world

these days. The sales of newspapers and magazines has significantly declined as folks look to electronic forms of news and information. Gone also is integrity of most of the journalists. They purposefully mislead with as sensational a headline as possible so that you click it and see their advertisements, and thus get paid. I am not sure it's a team bias as the overwhelming need to remain relevant and get folks to read their crap.
