Is journalism completely dead in the sports world today?

I just watched the Kiffin presser since I wasted 3 hours of my life on that game and I couldn't believe that no one asked about the stupid high school formation maneuver in the second half that I'm convinced cost them the momentum and ultimately the game. That was one of the dumbest things I've ever seen in a college football game and not one soul brought it up.
Who are these people?

They're all scared of losing their access.

Media from places like Ole Miss and Auburn think nothing of that and think that's how football is supposed to be played. They don't know any better.

It’s literally fan “journalists” asking him questions. They all run the ole miss fan sites. They aren’t gonna ask him tough questions. And half of them would blow him for minimal access.

Back when I was in the journalism business, before many of you were born, sports journalism was not considered journalism by most journalists. But the sports page sold papers, so sports "journalists" thrived. Outside of raw stats and play-by-play stuff, it's all contrived bullshite and always has been. You finally get to an age where you realize it, and think it just happened. But in fact, it always has been.

The problem isn't too little "journalism" in sports, it's too much. I miss when "sports journalists" were only there to tell you what happened in games and maybe try to predict the outcomes of the games coming up the next weekend. Now sports "journalists" don't give much of a shite about the actual sports part and are in many cases actively trying to tear sports down in pursuit of social justice. frick journalists. They think they are something they absolutely are not.

It has been dead for years and not just in sports.

Not just the sports world, in general "journalism" is either a puff piece or an op-ed piece designed to move product, whatever the product may be. Journalists have ALWAYS been despised. They used to be despised because they gave you the truth and it often felt like they were giving you hell (a spin on the Harry Truman story) but today they are despised because they only opine or spin. SOciety needs information. Op-ed pieces are fine and well, they have been a mainstay of journalism for ever...as have puff pieces...but that is ALL they do today. And they all cover the same stories...no one is interested in covering anything that isn't already being covered.

Yes, journalism has been destroyed by big money, like everything else.
