Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3303908, member: 9853"] 1. This is sports reporting. 2. Sports is entertainment industry. 3. Bias is what makes it entertaining. 4. Entertainment isn't about "fact." It's about emotion. 5. There is a known conflict of interest between this publisher and the subject. 6. The alleged conspiracy (or agenda, if you must) works against that known conflict of interest. 7. We know Ben Ikin referred to the cap and roster situation as "disgusting." 8. We know they are so desperate to clear the cap they are willing to subsidize transfers. 9. There is smoke. I have no idea whether the Broncos were in breach of cap, or heading towards it, but everything suggests they were. Perhaps the creative accountancy used by the previous administration didn't pass the Donuts/Ikin sniff test. As for the numbers being thrown around: we don't know. But what we do know is Ikin will be presenting the same story to the media that he'll want the NRL to believe. There's good reason these numbers might not agree with earlier representations. If a lie is being told, it's a lie to get their stories straight. I don't know the veracity of any of this, but I do know that presuming the media is lying for "clicks" or "agenda" is about the dumbest take, and has been a proven failure so far. [/QUOTE]
