Go back to the original comment I responded too, it suggested that local activist wouldn’t welcome barstool to Athens. [/QUOTE]You're right, sorry. I missed the original comment about the "activists" -- I thought you were referring to MediaMatters as the activist. My bad.
The original post may have meant their wouldn’t be a market in Athens for barstool when he said local activist and not this but this is what I imagined. If he meant not a market I would disagree as many users enjoyed the bowl. Think if they enjoyed that they will enjoy other content by them.
For what it's worth, I agree with this. Hence my point that Barstool's far from cancelled. Their content's popular, and I don't even think it's particularly controversial.
I’m not offended by their ideas at all or mad about them I’m just pointing out they are biased propaganda. Not because of barstool as you just lied about but because of other stories on their home page which are all one sided coverage on whatever story it is.
This is where I take issue with your characterization. Do you really think you're using the phrase "propaganda" correctly here, or is that a hugely loaded phrase that you're using for effect?
Also, c'mon dude. "As I just lied about"? We're talking about MediaMatters solely in the context of a link somebody posted about Barstool. That you glanced at their homepage and have concluded it's all "one sided" is overly simplistic, and betrays your own bias. Are you really suggesting that there's literally nothing of merit offered my MediaMatter and that they've never approached a story without "propaganda" in mind?
I mean, how many MediaMatter stories have you read?
I said I don’t want to derail thread on that yet here you are derailing my point and twisting my words again like you have done before in other threads.
I quoted your words and replied to them. It makes that one poster whose name I can't remember very annoyed when I quote people, but it's the reason I do it. Which ones did I twist?
My point is there are people in Athens who would love barstool in Athens and I think it would be great if they started doing a Mac gameday show. I don’t know if they want to do that or if is feasible but if they did think would be great for bring money to Athens and advertising for Ohio university. Would also be great for Mac football to get national highlighted coverage that ESPN doesn’t provide.
I agree with all of this.

I have no problem with criticism of them but I would think it silly to have a physical protest to try to make them feel unwelcome.
