Well it's still the AJC, so SNAFU is their copacetic.
This time the sensational headlines AJC have promoted are coming back to haunt them as other media are using the same tactics. Most people outside the fan base are not reading the whole article. They just see “AJC Eats Crow” and Kirby Kicks **** or variations thereof. They are not paying attention to the AJC’s weak retraction. The mere fact they did something that is rarely ever done in these arenas speaks for itself. It is great to see the karma coming back around.
“Best birthday ever!”
The job is half done. They fired the lowly journalist. That's a good start....but someone approved that article for publication without question. There were so many outrageous accusations in the piece that someone on staff should have paused and asked for evidence before publishing. I hope UGA is not satisfied with the AJC's actions so far.
False in one thing, false in everything. That is a legal principle that if a witness is found untruthful in one thing he is considered untruthful in everything. The AJC has already admitted that the article was false is a couple areas, thus the entire article is to be considered false. I hope UGA continues to press until the AJC retracts the entire article and someone higher up is held accountable.
Judd should circle the block and pick up Chip Towers. Let them both visit the unemployment line.
While they're at it add Terence Moore to the car pool.
I agree with you, and appreciate you expounding on the situatoin. I just think partial resolution is all UGA and the players are going to get, which is something, I suppose.
@CigarDawg It’s all so very frustrating that the journalism industry (in this case the AJC) IMHO appears often times to give hints at being quite smug, as well as rather arrogant in their actual policing of themselves, if ever. Seldom do they retract anything, rather in this case, they edit the article (now), then fire the reporter, and then they’ll admit to absolutely nothing???!!! W-T-F??? Rant over…
Yeah! I love the look on Kirby's face during press conferences when chip asks questions!
that might just be an NFL record. Fastest man in the league!!!
“Toe meets leather!” - haven’t heard that phrase in awhile. It was one of Al Ciraldo’s, longtime Ga Tech radio commentator, catch phrases.
Might be a fun thread topic - famous college football radio or TV phrases, like:
”Get the picture” - Munson
”Whooooa Nellie” - Keith Jackson
Smugness doesn’t begin to cover it… they give themselves awards for reporting false information. 🤣
@Hemingwey My hope is that this severe incident (and HUGE LOSS to GEORGIA and Kirby Smart) gives the AJC a LARGE “black eye” in their own field of endeavor among their own ilk (other competing “journalism” outlets) that won’t soon go away!!! That going forward, those in charge at the AJC will think twice about locking horns with GEORGIA again while using their own shoddy, and lazy, not well vetted research concerning “HIT JOB” investigative articles when it comes to their own reporting on matters concerning UGA Athletics, the players, and their coaches. GEORGIA OWNED THE AJC on this one!!!
GO DAWGS!!!
PS - I hope there’s actually SOMEONE sitting in a high office there in Atlanta at the AJC, who finally now fully understands that GEORGIA (and Kirby Smart) will no longer take, or tolerate their yellow journalism practices at all for even one more second!!!! The hit pieces that are written against GEORGIA of the fake headlines, misleading premises, other various false narratives, and also the outright bold face lies?, those days are now over!!!
