Does media concoct offer was declined?

Does media concoct offer was declined?Is that standard procedure when they hype a story to get the scoop? This Michael White story ran all day and turns out he has been on vacation with his family the entire week. Where's the I was offered and I declined link?

 

[VolArmy74]

So far it's just a post on VQ from LWS that's causing the stink.

 

[johndoevol]

The national media sure seems hellbent on painting UT as a bad place to be.

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking, but the media can and will make a story where there is none. That's media 101

ESPN Hates Us?

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Where's the link to the "Michael White story" that ran all day...all ive seen is some speculative tweets.

And the link that says he has been on vacation?

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Ricky Byrds a coming

 

[TeazyT]

Tony Basilio saying that the buyout problem will probably be solved, and that TN should name White tomorrow. Conflicting stories, not sure what to think atm. Time to just sit and wait

Where is Kermit?

Usually how it happens is

1 person gets the info
3 confirm it then
1 gets to write the story

Pretty common template for these things

Ricky Byrds a coming

wait...didn't you say Tyndall 10 minutes ago...

A blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then, but Basilio is still an idiot.

Another common protocol is:

1. No solid info has been disclosed
2. 3 people make something up
3. 1 person publishes it.

Now it's

1 person hears a rumor, tells someone else.

250 tweet it.

9 message board posters with inside sources confirm it.

24 hours later it was all false.

It was sarcasm lol

 

[vol66]

It was sarcasm lol

Well why you wanna scare a fella like that!

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Ricky Byrds a coming

He's coming heh? In his wet dreams maybe. :birgits_giggle:

 

[northknoxvol]

Basilio is a good man doing the talk radio on his own dime and is a graduate of UT who loves the Vols..........why so much hate?

Tony?

 

[captain chaos]

No hate. Just a fact.

 

[Volfreak1964]

Needs to be done soon!

 

[Tenn Ted]

Lovie is still on that plane. And Gruden is the pilot, that's why. Basilio has put so much BS out over the years, that he could corner the worldwide market in mushrooms.

Wondered the same but the word "idiot" is thrown around on VolNation like candy.

 

[Spartacavolus]

Marlon Walls should've sued him for every penny for naming him as the one who beat and kicked a cop on Cumberland. Said the police knew and he needed to turn himself in. Total trash reporting. When I emailed him about his ridiculous misinformation, he responded "haters gonna hate."
He's delusional and fos. Toxic combo.

Where us he saying that because he is not tweeting that.
