The media is angry at the Vegas twitter account | upd: Vegas apologizes, page 13, post #305

[MapleLeafs9]

The VGK twitter account made a tweet that the Nashville media were clapping after the Predators scored a goal earlier tonight, after taking a lot of backlash the tweet has been deleted, but the media is not stopping there.









Thoughts? The Vegas twitter account has been attacked for unprofessionalism before.

edit: Vegas apologizes

Media is soft, their holier than thou atitiude is why journalism is a dying medium

They're basically calling a bunch of media members unprofessional with no proof, probably to try to make other people think their social media team is funny (they're not) and they got called on it. Good for the Nashville media members standing up for themselves and those who know them backing them as well.

I may be looking at this the wrong way but what's the big deal? Are the writers worried that they'll be perceived as biased?

Honestly, so what if they were? I don't really have a problem with local media supporting their team. It'd be different if they were handling national coverage... But then again listening to Olcyzk cover Blackhawks games nationally is a headache and a half.

I don't know what you're talking about. Their professionalism is being called into question here, unfairly so it seems.

...Why can't media members clap?

seriously wtf

clapping in the pressbox is a sin but the NBC guys covering their teams nationally with huge amounts of bias is somehow OK?

Clap if it was a nice play. Dont clap if you don't want to.
A few in the media need to take themseleves less seriously methinks..

I don't see the issue even if they were clapping... But it's nice to see the media get unfairly judged for once, seeing as how they love doing it to everybody else.

The Knights twitter account has had many questionable tweets for some time now

Surprised it took something like this for what I assume is going to be a change in who runs that account

"This is a pretty serious accusation"

Is Portzline serious?

It's a rule? You don't clap in the Press Box. There's to be no favoritism shown up there. It's part of every arena's policy.

One group is trying to be funny and light hearted. The other group is angry, holier than thou and overreacting. Welcome to 2017.

 

[tny760]

i love how corporations and media decided to invade twitter, an inherently unprofessional platform, and somehow now think it's legitimate and professional media..

 

[SaskCanesFan]

This is a story. Holy **** I can't wait until humanity goes extinct at this point, what a joke

 

[WingsMJN2965]

It is funny though. Media demonize police, criticize politicians for the color of their tie, twist and turn everybody's words, but God forbid somebody call them out!

Everything and everybody is offensive now

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

I think it's pretty terrible but if it's getting interactions from young Vegas fans then maybe it's okay? If all of the likes and retweets are coming from Kunhackls_Ego in Scranton then they should switch it up
