One, that article is not well written. It's not. It's poorly written.
Two, there is absolutely nothing . . . NOTHING wrong with a writer being a "homer". (Or, "cheerleader," in your parlance.)
Three, the GBI writers absolutely favor Purdue in their writing, and there's not a d@mn thing wrong with that.
Four, if you want articles that aren't kind (or slanted) toward Purdue, read the IU Star.
I think the poor writing made me think of it as more homerish than it was but I think Brian et al almost go out of their way to make sure that if something bad happens... we saw it coming beforehand.
good points.
If I remember correctly, Brian is NOT a Purdue fan. If I'm right about that, that goes a LOOOOONG way toward 'splainin' some thangs!
But also to be fair ... fan or not, a good journalist should write like they aren’t.. man the season needs to get here
There's nothing wrong with a journalist being excited about his/her team. Nothing. And nothing wrong with that coming across in his/her writing.
It's sports. It's not life or death. Or, politics.
I’m pretty sure Brian is a fan. He was a student at Purdue while I was there, wrote for the Exponent, and graduated with a Purdue degree. I don’t think he’d still be doing this job at GBI after all these years if he wasn’t a fan of Purdue sports. He just does a good job of not being a total homer in his writing, which I appreciate.
Apparently I'm confusing him with someone else, or I read something intended to be TIC and took it the wrong way.
Maybe thinking of Jeff Washburn? He had publicly said he was a Duke fan despite covering Purdue for the J&C for many years.
