Detroit MSM Drops The Puck, Again

from the Wayne Fontes Experience,
The closest thing I could find to an Red Wings/Lidstrom opinion piece in any of the local fishwraps was the the Freep’s reprinting of a 6 month old article from Helene St. James recapping Lidstrom’s career.
It’s a sad state of affairs in regard to the MSM’s NHL coverage in Hockeytown.
At least the Red Wings blogosphere stepped up.

That guy at “Wayne Fontes Experience” spent too much time shining his light on the painfully obvious—at least to the readers here. We already know that MSM coverage of the Wings is pathetic, and teetering on the brink of non-existent.
We already know that if you want in-depth coverage of the Wings, you come to Paul’s Korner, check out George at Snapshots or Bruce Almighty at Red Wings Corner (speaking of Bruce, why doesn’t somebody at his fishwrap step-up to the plate and send him on the road with the team more often --- he is far and away the best beat writer the Wings have—pay the man already!!!)
So yeah—ditto Pharazon and Baroque!!!

I’m MSM? That’s kind of scary…

If you’ll notice George, I excluded you from that generalization in my Merry Christmas.

Much appreciated 
It’s a very strange situation to be an avowed “biased fan” whose blog is on a newspaper website. It’s like working for “The Man” while working against the establishment...Which, I think, makes me an antidisestablishmentarian…

honest to god, i’ve stopped reading the freepress, the news and mlive for red wings news, they write the same crap all the time.
i find much more relevant and interesting news on the blogs, snapshots and the message boards.
i’m fed up of reading the same story 3 times, with the words slightly rearanged from the AP report.
