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.

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.

The football team wins less fights than they do games.

Charlie has every right to be displeased with them.
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.

The ending was just fantastic:QuoteKansas 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.

Write scathing article about someone/people2. People in question take offense3. ?????4. Self-righteous rant about the founding fathers and the constitution
"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?
