It's a story. Deserves it's own thread. Finfer is crying about it right now. He said Peoria Matt was the one that informed him via twitter.

So here it is. This looks like it's after the break where Finfer initially found out.

Needs to be the headline. Some people can't read 15 pages. So you give them the headline news and the link cuz it's a human interest story. It's our responsibility. People come here for the radio news. You guys don't get it.

Hey Ben, not Feder's job to hide a story cuz of your feelings or the feeling of your co workers. It's your bosses job to make sure he tells you guys before Feder gets it.

If you got the scoop that Trestman was fired before he knew it, you would report it.

So the anger at Feder is a little strange from Finfer. Very obtuse on his part.

And I thought Meat's Twitter post would be the least self aware thing I read today. That lasted all of what, 20 minutes? Good job Beardown.

Just listened to it.

Finfer fucked up. Feder wrote a speculative piece cuz he had sources. IT'S NOT OFFICIAL. That's why the bosses didn't tell him. Though it might be. Likely it will be. So he ripped his bosses. Said "Are they human?" Then he changed and decided that Feder was the true enemy, not his bosses. Probably realizing he fucked up.

What if it's not true? What if the trib decides they'll give THE GAME a little longer.

Finfer: :shock: :oops:

Beardown: Yeah. Can't put that tooth paste back in the tube.

Mac: Yeah, that was bad. Radio execs around the city will hear about it. You need lay low for a while. Perhaps find a safe house. I'll come get you when the time is right.

Finfer: Save me, Mackie!!!!!!! :cry:

Mac: Calm down. Working on myself, then I'll grab you.

Finfer: WHEN? :cry:

Mac: When the time is right!!!!

You gotta explain yourself, Fifer. I know you're reading it.

1. You read Feder's column on the air.

2. You go hard after your bosses.

3. You invite Feder on the air.

4. Feder declines

5. Then you change. Bosses are now the good guys. Feder is the enemy all of the sudden for some reason. (Were you gonna tell him that if he accepted your on air invitation? :lol: )

6. You call Feder a hack he's And he's "mean" for reporting a story cuz you and the staff didn't know it was coming. You do understand, as a media member, that it's not his responsibility to inform you, right? He's a reporter. He got something. He reported it. You don't get that? Really?

7. You rip Feder cuz he's no longer employed by a major publication. Found irony in that since you just got fired. And you had the sad voice looking for sympathy for that last hour.

Anyway, explain yourself, Ben.

Feder is employed by Tribune Media, just like Finfer.

By the way, my first post was that I felt bad for everybody over there. Still do. It sucks for you guys. But I didn't get your last 40 minutes on the air.

I'm sure if you listened to it right now, Ben, neither would you. Go ahead and do that.

Weird, sad, confusing, wrong and mean would be the way to describe it.

What the hell is so evil about this thread? It was a newsworthy thing that could have been lost in the other thread that was covering the game going under "In general". This was more specific on an interesting aspect of this situation. Why is it so evil? I never understand the hate for my threads. It's weird.

It's not a "scoop" unless Beardown makes a thread about it. Good job, Beardown. Keep up the good work.

Exactly.

Everything is always done so haphazardly around here concerning Breaking News(!) It pops in a few threads and fritters about.

Beardown puts the necessary muscle behind it and gives it the life it deserves. He is then roundly criticized by people with small minds and no vision.

Thanks for all you do, Beardown.
