Mannix was on Grant's show (which interesting he has a radio show...not on the list) and vouched for Wojo. StR is vouching for Wojo...

Re: Media Trustworthiness
Wojo, by taking PDA's account on Vivek firing Malone and being responsible for the Stauskas pick, set our franchise's rep back. Won't get over that
We are being bullied in the media. It's disgusting. Not only does everyone have a dour response to what we are doing, but stories are being created left and right besmirching us, a lot of it untrue. The untruths then will be accepted at large, making us an even bigger target

Re: Media Trustworthiness
Vivek just needs to take all this in as a learning experience. He probably never imagined things could get this shallow and dirty so as long as he knows and understands the snakes he's dealing with now, he should be better from here on.

Re: Media Trustworthiness
According to Woj, we're discussing the Seattle SuperSonics 2.0 but anyway, this is actually what StR said:
That's all we have been saying.
With Woj though I don't particularly care for the opinions and conjecture he sometimes inserts into his reporting, but the reporting itself is usually solid. He's probably broken more Kings news in recent years than almost anyone else on this list, although he's also had several big misses, particularly recently.
That's all we have been saying.

The NBA is a lot more transparent and cutthroat than the tech world. He's new at it so it will definitely get some taking used to on his part. I think once he learns to let the basketball people handle the basketball aspect of running the franchise he'll be better off. Can't expect a first time owner to be perfect from the jump.

Pretty much.
Also ask yourself this, how many of Vlade's free agent signings did Wojo break? Hmmmmm.

Re: Media Trustworthiness
What I find so interesting about the media is how they can manipulate perspective. It is more apparent in sports than in mainstream, but the "East Coast biased" has affected more sports teams west of the Mississippi in negative ways, can't tell me there is not an "good ole' boys club". With the age of the Internet, you'd think this would alleviate the limited perspective towards West Coast teams, yet we're still treated like cow-towns. (except for the Lakers of course, but that's another story) I remember seeing the movie "Tomorrow Never Dies" (yes, James Bond fan) and walked away a bit disillusioned with the truth behind what was supposed to be just an adventure flick.

Completely agree. Bullying is a great word for how the national media has presented everything that has happened to the Kings recently as part of a narrative of "the laughable, hopeless franchise." It's up to Kings fans to criticize their franchise if and when appropriate. It's not appropriate for the national media to be projecting a negative, subjective image on a franchise while they are facing adversity.
There likely was some legitimate dysfunction in our franchise between PDA, Fegan, Cousins, Karl, etc. but we'll never know what actually happened due to bizarre, inconsistent, and inaccurate reporting.
As some on this board know, I was openly critical of Stein (ESPN), who first broke internal Sac dysfunction as "Lakers seek to obtain Counsins." That headline was offensive because it allowed the Lakers good press at Kings expense, even though interest was 1) multiple major media outlets (for instance SI, CBS) later reported there was never a serious trade on the table 2)Vlade & Vivek denied pursuing that trade 3) by the Lakers' (Kupchak) own admission they never made a serious offer and 4) the real story was one of internal discord and had absolutely nothing to do with the Lakers.
