My favorite teams
It’s all media, which is funny…because basically everyone at some point has had a direct interaction with the media, or direct knowledge of an event, and has experienced the level of bullshit, over exaggeration, and misrepresentation that runs with the “reporting”. So they remember their experience, but then they completely disregard their experience when digesting media later. That’s strange to me.Ok mate.
I can give you a few examples, over the decades.
My wife’s grandfather used to own a ranch just outside Rico, CO. Less than an hour away from Telluride. He also used to guide for out of state hunters from the west coast. Well he ended up taking Steve McQueen out for a hunt, and it was picked up by a magazine. The article was a load of bullshit, from the size of the elk, to the prowess of McQueen as a hunter and marksman, it was a complete work of fiction.
Then you have “experts” from ducks to fishing, that are complete frauds. Shitheads like “professional” guide Bill Saiff, and “master” angler Mike Long, who can’t even use a bait caster…both of whom had MANY glowing articles written about them and their “methods” in magazines and “professional” sporting websites .
And that’s just a couple of examples. There are many.
