Stop being a trolling, whiny twit.

How about talking about how your bias affects coverage of the UFC and those Dana White singles out for slander in an attempt to damage their abilty to earn a living outside the Zuffa empire.

Sick of you groupie, unprofessional “journalists” that have no personal ethics or professional integrity.

Your coverage of the Fedor issue has been uniformly slanted and snide. Imagine the nerve of the man turning down the little god that the media has helped to make the face of mma in the US.

Dana White is not a fighter guys. Fedor is.
Get off Dana’s dick and start writing objectively.

haha, perfect example. I can imagine it being difficult to cover a fighter like Nick Diaz without making any reference to his antics or personality.

My stance: A fighter’s existence in this sport equates to more than just their fighting ability or their credentials. They all have a persona that they build. They have an image. They have a presence before and after the fight, and outside the ring or cage. If someone is covering a fighter, then they should be covering everything important about that fighter. Sometimes, what is important involves their personality. If a fighter has some personality oddities, that should probably be included in the coverage to some extent.

However (and this is key), a writer should NOT ignore fighting ability. That is where the line is drawn. Refer to the fighter’s personality traits when necessary, but do not allow those personality traits to affect your coverage of their fighting prowess.

Surprisingly, I think most MMA Media sites (the major sites, at least) do a decent job with this balance. A bad personality doesn’t seem to get in the way of proper coverage that often (as far as I have noticed).
