[edit of title] Harbaugh Presser - "An apology will not get the job done in this instance."---Jim Harbaugh

Not just the athletics, it's also in the student body.

"It has been a long, long time since the American mass media was remotely reliable."

And, unfortunately, it appears things are going to continue to spiral downward. Both sides of the aisle are at fault. Social media just exacerbates the fact that people, as a whole, have a lot of not-so-good things inside.

Makes one thankful for a coach who truly is trying to be a good guy, even with a few fits and starts. I am quite glad-to-be a Michigan Wolverine.

What idiotic takes. The media has been all over this story, flatly condemning the assaults and airing footage. What else do you expect reporters to do within 48 hours? They don’t just get access to everyone’s security cameras and iPhones. There’s a process. The media doesn’t simply exist to produce something that immediately validates your interests, unless you’re talking about Fox News. Chill out. 

Yeah, the best thing about the Internet is that anyone can use it, and the worst thing about the Internet is that anyone can use it. 

Frogs are poisonous to avoid getting attacked.  Leave 'em alone and they'll happily leave you alone.  Jungles are important and endangered.  Twitter is poisoned by its own residents.  It's deliberately poisoned.  If you want to compare it to something, go with Zone Rouge -- completely man-made and permanently toxic.  It's like planting land mines and spraying poison all over your own neighborhood.  You're so miserable and bored and psychopathic that you'll salt and mine your own earth, simply to drag others down to your own level of paranoia and misery.  No, not everyone who lives there is bad, but that doesn't make it worthwhile to visit.

But now the media relies on Twitter, to an extent even lazier than Twits themselves.  The "scuffle" narrative still has legs because the major media outlets (ostensibly with resources) are still going off the very first MSU homer tweet.  At this point we know that ESPN and SI are glorified retweet shops because they clearly didn't even watch the clip of McBurrows getting mobbed -- it's less than a minute FFS!

Fact!

Politics are for squares.

I enjoy Michigan State fans, of all people, imploring Harbaugh to "worry about your own program."

The world was notably peaceful before Twitter

How about this: don’t use Twitter as a news source. 

But Twitter really isn’t news.  And that is a big part of the issue.  News and social media are two entirely separate things that have been conflated.  Twitter is a collection of opinions and nothing more.  

Twitter is horrible, but I don't think it reflects society as a whole.  

"and it's a reflection of society as a whole"

You hit the nail on the head and it's absolutely depressing.  

Hey, never doubt TMZ

I read that ABC had a tunnel camera so do your thing ABC intern.
