the reality is these suck ups idolize the players so much they have zero integrity, let alone a set of testicles to the point they are afraid to be anything other than sucks up.

They drink the pdc kool aid, question nothing, all in fear they might not get another interview where they can repeat the process and suck up again.

you dont see impartiality, honesty, proper questions, just like at any fat barrs interview or any of the others, all asking the same type of generic questions, all rimming the players and afraid to ask proper questions.

you only have to look at some of the videos or sites that have the most mundane ridiculous shit that they class as "news"
Or join us for an interview with player x where he tells us he wants to win the grand slam....no shit

Do you think if he followed your style of darts journalism he would earn the same he does now from darts?

What style is this, mate?

I am not a journalist......would you show me where I have every claimed to be ?

You cant because I am not, as someone who constantly references my blog you will be aware of this, but why let this fact get in the way.

From wikipedia before you start your next rant:

A journalist is an individual trained to collect/gather information in form of text, audio or pictures, processes them to a news-worthy form and disseminates it to the public.

It's not what you want to call yourself. It is what it is.
I'm actually saying you are a brave journalist.
You let them have it. Well done!

but I am not a journalist is my point.
I did not study journalism in college, nor work as one for a major outlet etc.and I am perfectly fine with that.
I quite freely admit my blog is the work of an opinionated asshole, that people can read or not. I dont have any illusions about that.

I do however find it annoying when suck ups afraid to upset the pdc establishment think of themselves as journalists, thats the issue.

A real proper journalist would not be afraid to ask the questions that should be asked, but they dont out of some fear they might not get the chance to suck up again to the pdc. Even you should be able to comprehend this.

You're yesterday's news covered inTourettes.

[ChrisW]

You don't have to have a qualification to work as a journalist.

How do you know they think of themselves as journalists. You don't and you do a similar job.
Write a regular blog on a subject you think you are an expert in.

That's exactly the same as they are doing. The only difference is they get access to more opportunities because they don't rant on a weekly basis.

[Little Lonely Garry]

if you think what I do and what the likes of say Phil Barrs do are the same thing then its pointless even debating with you.
I dont suck up, nor shy away from an opinion.

My opinion might not be everyones cup of tea, but its mine and I dont care if its the pdc, mad , ukda or certain players I am not out to suck up and curry favor.

Where have i ever called myself an "expert"

oh wait that never happened either.....

Garry surprising everyone.

[ChrisW]

The apologies are very surprising.
For me he is an expert journo/blogger on darts. I look forward to the next issue.
