Avi quoted in the SF Gate. https://www.sfgate.com/collegesports/article/5-unanswered-questions-cal-stanford-join-acc-18341545.php

Yesterday, someone commented on how Avi and WFC are pretend journalists. It is one thing to say they lack journalistic integrity (acceptable) and quite another to say they are pretend journalists (unacceptable), amiright? ;) Anyhow, a little egg on the face of whoever it was that sought to diss Avi and the crew at WFC!

Eternally grateful to WFC for the work you all did to keep us updated with every bit of relevant news or rumor on this!

That's SF Gate which is a pure "rag." Disregard everything except the food reviews (Soliel Ho excepted). Chunky Gabe's predecessor as sports editor Alex ?'s best column was about macaroni and cheese.

But well-suited for SF, these days. Riches to rags city.

And yet you all do such a better job of it... sigh.

You want to see real non-journalists at work? Stream Hawaii New Now.. and yet they somehow get paid to do it...

In a world where hack, 1A auditors troll under the guise of being a journalist, ya'll are journalists in my book...even if WFC doesn't have some of the long-form posts that CGB once had. ;)

YOU CAN'T LACK JOURNALISTIC INTEGRITY YOU CAN ONLY LACK EDITORIAL INTEGRITY

W4C isn't necessarily in the business of breaking news. It's more about analysis, commentary, and building a community.

Not challenging your assessment, but I do find it ironic given that the title of this post literally states, "Breaking."

I take it as a post to discuss the "breaking news"
