Wow.  I can't help but wonder if this is how things started at Penn St.   One week, students can't ask questions at a press conference.  The next thing you know, the whole administration can't ask questions.

Tread lightly KU.....tread lightly.

If I were the reporter, I would have asked at least 12 questions at that presser. This guy deserves everything he gets if he didn't ask any.

I find this quote in the comments section sums it up rather nicely:

Quote
It's a matter of class and understanding that this is OUR KU family - not some nameless person. If that thought bothers you, then maybe you could explain what it means to be a Jayhawk to you.

I think Kevin should explain what it means to be a Jayhawk to these huge jerks.

The ending was just fantastic:
Quote
Kansas is a public university, and it has a damn good journalism school that is here teaching its students to be objective members of the Fourth Estate of the United States of America, to hold its leaders accountable, and to be a free and independent press. It’s a democracy thing, and it’s too bad a public American university would try to persuade student reporters into compromising those values.

Journalism 101:
1. Write scathing article about someone/people
2. People in question take offense
3. ?????
4. Self-righteous rant about the founding fathers and the constitution

Joe Montgomery is posting in the UDK comments now?

Quote
"A journalists’ job is to be objective in every sense of the word. A journalist cannot cheer. A journalist cannot wear team colors. A journalist cannot show any bias whatsoever."
Then journalists have been failing at their job. How else would someone without ANY qualifications get elected as president?

This is going to get entertaining.
