An absolute plague on the rest of us "I'm hearing noises that Boris Johnson will be resigning tomorrow" - doesn't happen - "well I was only going off what my sources told me". You'd be fired in any other journalist job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much, but tbf more often than not a story is broken by a newspaper reporter, then SSN run it shortly afterwards themselves, quoting “Sky sources” - when every man and his dog knows they’ve just picked it up from an online article/the reporter tweeting it. Graves is just a presenter - not a reporter. He might have a few connections and is obviously pally with Downie, but he’s not digging out his own exclusives.

So Edwards kinda has a fair point, I guess. Not really the best/most of professional ways to raise it though, like I suspect his bosses wouldn't be overly pleased... Just pathetically childish to play it out over Twitter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We called it the St Aelfric’s Gazette. The lads always asked me to join in but I was just so happy writing down the things that I saw happening’. Luke takes a sip of his water and looks pensively out the window. ‘But then another boy started to take the things I wrote and use them in the yard when talking to the football lads. Soon they forgot all about me. And the gazette. I think that was the first time that I really appreciated the struggle of journalism’. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edwards burned his boats here for the sake of a short term scoop. Then he tried to defend it for the best part of a year until he was finally defeated by those who truly believed. Fuck him.

I think there’ll be others that’d agree. If David Ornstein tweets something, it nearly always happens. Nailed on SSN will be piggybacking on the stories he breaks. He’s just not enough of a prat to whinge about it. I’ve long felt that Edwards is bitter about something, perhaps that he’s not getting enough national recognition or been given the opportunity to move away from just covering mainly NE clubs. No-one sees him anywhere near the Winter/Burt/Ornstein category, for example. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
