RealGM and Twitter

Longtime fan of the site here, but I've got to say I think it's questionable journalism to report on Twitter pages... especially if they aren't confirmed to be real, like the Glenn Davis thing. It has to be embarrassing enough that people think he's "showing frustration with the Celtics," let alone when a top sports site reports it based on a fabricated Twitter account.

realgm's wiretap headline about that issue linked to an article from the boston herald. they didn't go off of the twitter page. anywhoo, realgm doesn't REPORT anything, they simply provide headlines from other news sources. when u search google news and u read an article that turns out to be wrong you don't go blaming google.

Yeah, people must remember that RealGM is a secondary provider and is not the one to blame if a report is false, RGM only compiles these data together and show it to the public for their pleasure of reading.

Ah, forgive my misunderstanding. Glad to hear that.

I should direct my complaint to those news media, then... awful journalism by those guys.
