What's funny, the first set are poor journalists, the second set are good journalists.
Started > at. My mistake
Exactly what you’ve just said. Point proved, aside from wether they are poor or good journalists.

I disagree in that I think, in the interests of fairness, Caulkin is actually a very good sports journalist.
But my goodness he lost any sense of objectivity and therefore for me, respect as a journalist, when the Saudis took over.
I used to like his work, but it seems he has decided how to maximise his stock, and there is no room for ethics in the calculation.

Bin salman is a wanker,
He wears a tea towel hat,
He likes to marry young girls,
He is a f***ing twat,
He hired Amanda Stavely,
Cos the mags aren’t very bright,
So his sports washing mission,
Makes them look thick as shite.

For me, we all loved some of his work when it was about us, particularly the article he wrote before the 2014 cup final, and for me personally, the one he wrote about me and me dad.
So, when we raved about the 2014 article, it would be a bit hypocritical to say he’s a poor journalist, he’s not. He’s a good journalist.
But, there is a difference between being a good journalist and allowing your views and principles to be skewed because you support the team that have sold their soul to views and principles you’d ordinarily oppose. The lack of honesty and objectivity and a failure to stick to his principles is the criticism from me.

There’s a difference between being a good journalist and a good fanzine writer.
He is the latter.

Any resident mags want to stand up with tea towels on your head demanding the “awabs” while watching soccer aid?

I actually disagree, for me he’s a good journalist, blinded by his support of the Mags.
But, being blinded by your support of a team, is not a good place for a journalist to be.
So, please don’t think I’m defending him over his not only defence, but his active support of the takeover, I’m not.
But, that is a different argument to whether someone is a good journalist or not.

Agree. I think he's a good bloke, always got time for people on twitter. Unfortunately he was blinded by having access to Stavely and that mixed with him being a Mag meant he was badly conflicted.

A good journalist wouldn’t be blinded imo. Sure he’s fine as a person though.
not questioning your defending or not of him either
