Meyer is getting screwed

[Shanemansj13]

First of all his name is Urban Meyer. There is no s at the end of it. If you want to sound like you have relevant input at least get his fucking name right.

And McMurphy technically doesn't work for anyone. He's paid to not work really. He was under contract when laid off by ESPN so he gets to collect his paycheck to do nothing.

He also already has a job lined up for when that contract to sit home runs out.

How ESPN Ended Up Paying Brett McMurphy To Post The Year's Biggest College Football Story On Facebook

He had a couple of long time friends help him get the story out that are pros in the business. So it was not him sitting alone in a room trying to find a way to make a fast buck after randomly picking Meyer (no s ffs).

I do find it ironic that several of you are basically accusing this reporter of fraud, lying, fabricating evidence, etc without any actual evidence of such, while at the same time desperately defending Meyer (no s) also without the facts being complete yet.

Let the story unfold and do with it as you see fit once ALL of the information is out there.

Umm that’s what I have been saying the entire time, let it unfold. But the fact is McMurphy still liked like Urban. I really dont care if he has his posse with him, the guy tries to make up for his mistake and do it secretly. At least Urban said he was wrong, some fishy with McMurphy. So it really goes both ways. I see way more backlash on Urban than this turd lolz

The people defending Murphy are just as bad as Murphy. The logic seems to be that an attack on him is an "attack on the free press"

OK.....so we should allow the "free press" to freely go around throwing wild accusations and stirring up outrage without anything near an concrete evidence to support said accusations? With zero repercussions?

In this case indeed he weaponized social media, mostly for prospective personal gain. Basically he was allowed to do this, because he is held to no actual journalistic standards considering he is not currently employed by any reputable organization. His only downfall may be a lawsuit at the hands of Meyer or the University itself. Which im guessing is likely not to happen. So he basically gets his 15 minutes of fame and very little negative recourse. Which is total bs.

McMurphy is a prime example as to why people are questioning the for profit media more than ever. He's in the worst of the worst block of shady zero ethics "reporting"

Who's defending him?

I said how about asking for the facts to be complete for him, just like you are DEMANDING for Urban? I guess he doesn't have the same rights because he's a reporter and you already hate the media am I right?

 

[Shanemansj13]

He reported it on Facebook, not twitter.
It's URBAN MEYER (no s).
And not one person has said believe anything/everything any reporter says. Everyone is waiting for the results of the investigation. Well, that is everyone that hasn't already accused and convicted a reporter before those facts are complete.

You mean accused Urban. Yeah lolzz

If he did more than change a word in his story then it for SURE will come out by this investigation. OSU has every asset working full time on boiling this dude. If we should wait before we vilify Meyer, then so too should others wait before accusing the victim of being a crazy drunk bitch making things up or a reporter of flat out fabricating evidence.

That really isn't unreasonable to ask for.

You are.

He's already changed his story multiple times and backtracked on his original claim that he had "proof" that Meyer knew and did nothing. Why should we doubt that he is a shady zero ethics garbage social media reporter?

 

[Shanemansj13]

Wow, clarks stupid is spreading...

There is zero chance he made that up. None. At all. And it's patently stupid to even suggest it.

The chick? Sure. Plenty of room for her to have fabricated that, but the reporter? It's just dumb. That didn't happen. Period.

And no, you don't have McMurphy 'lying'. At best he did shoddy reporting and put things in print that may not have been true that he didn't take due diligence to get right before posting. That's at best. And that's not called him lying. That's called shitty reporting. And it isn't uncommon.

What is uncommon is a reporter to entirely fabricate easily verifiable physical evidence in an already big story to further a career.

So why would he edit it (did it incorrectly bc he is a dumbass) trying to do it privately and not just come out and say he miswrote or misspoke. Umm they if you dont think reporters have motives just like coaches, players, etc. do you are very mistaken. The facts are he did is secretly and that is very sketchy

I can flip that around to doing the same thing you have been crying against for days now toward Meyer.
No, you do NOT have proof McMurphy did anything more than edit a story which is something every reporter does at some point. If there is actual evidence (not more social media buzz by your fans) of real wrong doing I have not seen it.

I will personally wait until ALL OF THE FACTS are out before throwing anyone (including Meyer) under any type of bus. It just makes sense to do so.

You two clowns keep sitting here being hypocrites. Throw one guy under any bus you can find while claiming your guy isn't being given a fair chance to have his story vetted and heard.

Well he already kind of did, went on sportscenter less than 12 hours after the story broke and said basically he actually doesn't have any proof that Meyer did anything wrong. Which totally contradicts the initial report by him.

Right, so you have already created your answer before he can be asked it, while at the same time defending someone else demanding others wait for his side to surface.

Yeah, that all makes perfect sense. At least to clarky and OSU blind homers.

McMurphy has already provided the answer via his backtracking and edits.

Am I defending Urban or am I pointing out that Urban isnt the only one that made a mistake? You seem very confused. I have said many times to let it all play out but you are blind to the fact at this guy has no motive even though he secretly edited his document, just too dumb do it the right way. You seem upset lolzz

 

[Shanemansj13]

Yep no need to explain it to this kid. He cant even do SEC math

This is wrong. Many have already passed judgement.

At least Devil and the blind OSU Homers

Wasting your time dude. He's already created his answer. Based on the reports of a sketchy social media reporter. This is a prime example of the foundation. Of false social media reporters operate. They provide misleading "information" to grab the attention of people who want to believe for their own reasons. The "story" spreads quick via outrage and speculation. When the facts begin to surface the "reporter" that completely changes his story. Isn't even questioned because thats what one wants to believe. may as well put a USC player on trial with an all UCLA jury.

The problem like you stated. Is there is an open door for a "reporter" to supply misinformation. Without being held accountable to the same standards as an actual reporter. In order to cash inWhich given the nature of Social media and the damage it is known to cause there needs to be accountability. Or the issue just escalates. And these poor reporting practices continue

Its really not complicated. McMurphy was fired by ESPN. While at ESPN he put out a tweet saying At least they can still say Boom Her at Oklahoma. But now he's a saint out to help Courtney Smith. He first claims Zach Smith was arrested and he obtained the information from the police. That was misinformation. He put out a loaded text with zero confirmation its legit to amp up outrage.Which also does not read as read just delivered which is also odd.He was investigated. The Exclusive video he used to obtain a job with Watch Stadium. Is edited to grab attention. Again the outrage should fall on Zach Smith who was rightful fired.

But the bigger paycheck was with Urban. Urban should have declined to answer. And did put out his reply contradicting the media day statement. But even thats up for interpretation. Because we do not know the exact nature of the Smiths relationship. We do not know exactly how much Urban knew. Or the channels he went through. We just know what was reported and passed through the Media via McMurphy.

With the complete change in direction. And lack of accountability on McMurphys behalf. This goes well beyond Urban Meyers or Ohio State. Nor is this defending Urban Meyers etc...thats for the investigation to determine. This is about "social media reporters" who are getting paid being held accountable for the information they provide. And using the actual legal system to determine facts. Rather than social media being used as a weapon and the general public acting as the judge and jury......

I won't pretend to know what his intention was initially, but if you look at his twitter page, it sure appears he is taking it personally now.

He originally reported Zach Smith had been arrested. That is not the case. Instead of owning up to the mistake (which may have been an honest one, we don't know because he won't release the police report), he just edited his story to take that part out.

I don't care who you are, that is bullshit.

 

[socaljim242]

Did Smith get fired? was he on probation? Did Urban go up and lie to people with tape recorders and cameras rolling and is he not currently suspend? is there still doubt on who knew what at what time? Does most every single person believe Smith is a POS even if he never got arrested? Not even Ohio State believes the guys clean because he's fired.

But but but the reporter changed some words. So everything must be wrong . lol. That's so homer. Who gives a shit, he's been right on a whole lotta shit because smith is fired and Urbans in deep shit and so is the AD but you guy wanna fixate on what ever things you think aren't credible about him. Bu but but he changed something. Well Urban changed something huge himself. from I don't know anything to I knew and i discussed it with the AD. What he still hasn't address is why he kept him on his staff. Yes they still have to investigate details and who knew what when but they are just covering their asses now. They all fucked up they are just looking for which covered their ass better. If Urban survives it's not because he did the right thing from the start it's because he covered his ass when he idiotically decided to keep this guy working for him.

This whole notion that you can't believe the reporter because he doesn't like Urban is stupid. If reporters like Urban or cover the B10 and value their access do you think they would have reported it even if you gave it to them on a silver platter? No.

 

[WizardHawk]

No, that's called an event. Finding out why it happened takes ASKING THE FUCKER. It's really not that hard.

This is where I think you are confused. It also shows how much of an effect social media has on what in reality is opinion and not fact. Take Urban Meyers name out of the equation. You have a reporter that used insert random names. Making reporting an arrest he confirmed through the police. We have a text message with absolutely no confirmation. When a time stamp is tech 101.Said reporter has been paid a large amount of money. And acquired a job with Watch Sports. As a result of what wound up being misinformation. The reporter edited and changed his story. To what now is an investigation. Which is completely different. Arrest garners a lot more attention.

When one utilizes the format of social media. Outrage etc..In order to profit. And Its clear as day he used misinformation to do so. That becomes a major issue. And social media outlets need to be held responsible for their actions. The same way an actual reporter would be. And we wonder why McMurphy was fired from ESPN......

Doesnt matter if Zach Smith is clean. It appears all parties involved (Urban/AD) followed proper protocol when it comes to reporting such incident.

Urban did everything he was supposed to under his contract/university requirements.

Anything else is just personal feels and whining on your behalf. Which of course means nothing in the grand scheme.
