Time for KXNO to cut ties with the Register

[KKramer]

A caller on KXNO this morning called out how hypocritical the DMR is and how they just swept Tommy Birch's little "solicitation" under the rug... Heather's tone got super defensive because she is friends with Birch but I was surprised she kept herself in check.

With that being said that one moment didn't define Tommy and this sure as hell doesn't define Carson.

Damn right it doesn't. This was a 16 year old kid tweeting something from a comedy show. He's a 24 year old man doing amazing things for his community. This is a damn shame how this played out.

Time for the state of Iowa to cut ties with Busch beer and start drinking Coors Banquets exclusively...

The problem with the Rag, is it doesn't know who its readers are. Central Iowa is Iowa St. The Rag wants to be the STATE paper, but people in CR/IC have the Gazette, people in the east have the Davenport Paper and the QC Times, and those in the west the Omaha paper.

Randy Pete at it again blasting ISU in more ways that one in his latest column saying ISU has crowd control issues and Pollard is victim blaming. The man is a constant antagonist to our AD and coaches.

I wish JP would pull the Register's access but he is too classy to do so - I'm sure he knows fewer and fewer people actually read the register anymore and really have no influence anymore.

Aren't you tired of the shotty "journalism" (if that's what you even call it) the DSMRag time and time again provides? Don't you think our biggest Central Iowa news provider should be held to a higher standard? They took the national spotlight that's been on our great state the past week and a half and ran a "story" about social media posts from when someone was a child, all while the reporter that scooped the "news" had a MUCH worse racial charged social media history than the person he was trying to ruin...We as Iowans deserve better!!

I think the word you’re looking for is “shoddy.”

Think.

Or maybe just swap a vowel. Either way.

I enjoy the additional content the Register sport's reporters bring to the table. Sorry if you disagree. They have larger budgets and more access then what KXNO could possible budget for to cover.

That said, I won't be against them communicating a short hiatus up and until the Register does a full retreat from the Carson thing.

I get everything I need from CF, CR, and 247. Ruck the Fegister.

 

[IlliniCy]

Oh, and somebody needs to sit in Randy's chair next week at the presser, just to make a statement.

Unitl https://twitter.com/carolhunter is fired or issues a front page apology for this smear campaign. This pressure shouldn't stop

How would you like to be a sales person at the Des Moines Register in the next year. Trying to call people and sell them a subscription? Holy crap.

Or any of the employees. Innocent people are eventually going to lose their jobs over this.

Those umbrellas are a big carrot though.

I agree but at the same time they have to know they are working for something that is dying. Maybe this will get some of them off that Doomed train sooner

They’re living in the last century. It was a profitable gig for them- polish Fry’s **** while antagonizing ISU.

I don’t know if it’s pride thinking they’re still reporters, stupidity, or nefarious intent, but their manner of coverage of ISU needs to change.

 

[Halincandenza]

This outrage is all so freaking dumb.

 

[cyclonespiker33]

You are asking a different question than what I responded to. I'm simply suggesting that I like hearing from the Register sport's reporters and would miss them. That is all. That said, if they in anyway come out and seem to support of this mess, I will change my mind.

I'm actually thinking about cancelling my subscription but am holding out to see if they come back and clean up the mess they made. Firing their editor, Carol Hunter, would be a great start.

I heard that if you threaten to cancel right now they'll offer half price for you to stay. At the least start giving them less money for the crappy job they're doing.

 

[JM4CY]

At some point it’s almost as if Randy could be sued for defamation.

 

[CubsClones1]

This outrage is all so freaking dumb.

How so?

 

[weR138]

I don’t know about KXNO (don’t listen to them anymore), but after all of this, it is time for ISU to at least temporarily suspend the Register’s press credentials for the time being.

Nah, they'd love that...more phony controversy to sell papers and get clicks.

CW: Let's welcome the DM Register's Randy Peterson in to talk some Cyclone Football. Randy, what surface-level, uninformed, water is wet statement can you pull out of your ass about this ISU topic that you probably are just finding out about that anyone that cares enough to listen to this show is well aware of and is about 1000x more knowledgeable about than you?
