Botchford will post whatever "rumours" or "speculation" stoke up the most social media frenzy, and make him keep his job.Most of the canucks journalists are credible when it comes to rumors and speculation, regardless of allegiance.
He's never broken a single story, in which a rumour he posted became true or was verified by an actual insider like Friedman or Lebrun. It's actually incredible that he's never broken a single story in this market, yet is given "insider" status for "he said, she said, word around the town" BS.
Rick Dhaliwal on the other hand is money, an actual respectable journalist and not a TMZ-wannabe with zero hockey knowledge.
Still, hard to argue with Botch here. See a lot of posts here that are just repeating his tweets verbatim. That's the standard for original thought these days: zero. His fan club definitely has an office in HF Vancouver. Ah for the good old days of hockey journalism and not just whatever gets you the most retweets/reaction from the Twitter idiot mob.
