Tom Winter, who wrote the piece about the 6 assistant coaches who may have witnessed JSs actions, responded to a BWI poster chrism1965 with the following:

"I think you'll see in the coming days even more of our reporting that will name names and make this issue even more clear."

"in the coming days" generally means within a week. It's now been over two weeks since he promised a follow-up with more details.

Has he produced that follow-up? Has anyone in the MSM called him on it?

Was wondering the same thing. I've been waiting and waiting.
Mostly I think Tom Winter is another blowhard journalist that doesn't know shit from shinola.
He can kiss my Ass.
 
ive been waiting for this as well...still think they are going to try to spin something out of nothing for more clicks but we will see. it was pretty crazy that in that 48 hour span we got hit with 3 anti joepa and PSU football stories back to back to back.

Good point! I think that tells me he has nothing of value to report. Perhaps his superiors warned him that "naming names" without evidence could result in an expensive libel suit.

I was hoping you'd reply. You should send him a follow-up e-mail.

If he can't produce more he should retract the story.

Your wish is my command. Here is what I wrote. I will post any reply I receive.

Mr. Winter:

In your last correspondence you stated "I think you'll see in the coming days even more of our reporting that will name names and make this issue even more clear."

I am guessing since you have not written a follow-up that you have nothing of substance to report on this story beyond the innuendo and rumors that constituted your original report.

Interestingly in your last email you stated that you do not source on hearsay, then followed up with the following: "We even have a victim that confirmed police told him that a coach saw it." Sounds like hearsay to me.

You won't get crap for a reply. These bozos always seem to get a bad case of amnesia.

This did not take long:

Chris-

Because you believed that a private communication between two people should be posted on a public message board I will not communicate further.

The answer to your second question lies in the article. I'm sorry you're unable to see it.

Good luck to you,

LOL. Means he has NOTHING.

Journalism today is garbage. It's all about headlines, not research or real fact gathering.

So this clown feigns indignance over your violating his private communication but he can write libelous fiction and pass it off as fact. Awesome. Iirc this clown has an Economics degree. Couldn't get a real job so he migrated to super sleuth investigative schmuck

Exactly. He is upset that I posted his emails on a message board but did not respond to the substance of my email. He must be monitoring this board.

I hope he IS monitoring so now he can see I'm calling him out as a fraud, liar and blowhard.

'Investigative Reporter' my ass. He's lightweight garbage.
 
There wasn't really a second question. I just pointed out that he used hearsay to support his position that his story did not include hearsay. I guess his definition of hearsay differs from mine.

As WC Fields said "If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit.”
Well, that and "I'd engage you in a battle of wits, but I don't want to take advantage of an unarmed man"
