The Athletic. . .

A lot of Georgia fans read the Get The Picture blog, right? By a guy calling himself Senator Blutarsky.

How much money do you think he makes off the ads on that blog?

Follow-up question: How do you get press credentials from UGA to cover the football program?


***this has to do with the future of sports reporting

I've been reading Get the Picture since around 2007.

The Georgia football coverage is great, but the Trump obsession and consistent political trolling that has gone on over there the last several years is pretty damn obnoxious. Some of the white knight prog commenters over there are just insufferable cocksuckers. I just tend to keep out of it and scroll on by.

I’ve tried reading Get The Picture, but it just doesn’t hold my interest.

I would bet more people read his blog though than there’s people that listen to the ajc dawgnation podcast though.

So, how do press credentials work?

Are places like the Athletic and Dawgnation in business only because these outfits get the credentials from UGA that allows them to hire the best writers?

Hang on

I subscribed when they ran a 50% discount special in December and have really enjoyed it. Lots of good, in depth reporting on Georgia and college football in general. I also follow the Braves and Falcons writers but don't read every article they publish except for UGA articles. So far, its been well worth the money to me.

I’ve read that blog for years and this is why I never will again. He can take his political opinion, wad it up,, and shove it iup his dog’s arse. And the biggest cocksucking idiot in the comments section has hijacked my handle. That place has devolved from entertaining to irritating.

I got a special for like a year for 30.

It’s worth it but I don’t read it daily like I used to. Contrary to what someone else said I like DOBs Braves coverage since he moved. I was reading almost every day in baseball season.

I wouldn’t do it just for UGA football. I like discussion here better

Yea I usually read GTP as my first site of the day but mixing in the political stuff is starting to get old. I hear enough of that bullshite elsewhere, when I read football stuff I'd rather finally not be inundated with politics.

Here’s where I’m confused.

I’m not saying the Get The Picture blogger wants to be a journalist or that Seth Emerson would want to be a blogger. What I’m saying is that if Seth Emerson had his own website, that he’d have more readers than Senator Blog boy. And ajc Dawgnation etc. And would dominate.

But.......Emerson can’t have his own site because he would lose his press credentials.

So it all comes down to who controls the press credentials.

CONCLUSION: UGA is in cahoots with the big media conglomerates in a racket which controls the flow of sports coverage to the detriment of The People. And we need to start a revolution to overturn it.
