This is only going to get worse in the near future (GNR and non GNR related). He still has his podcast, but my understanding is That Metal Show is no longer being carried by VH1/MTV. His self promotion and '24 hour news cycle' like approach to getting the story first but not necessarily correct will be key to landing another national job in 'traditional media'.
I agree. And yes, his show was dropped.
Which is all context when you're listening to what the guy is saying.

I get you might like him. Hell, I like him, too. But he is what he is.
I never said I liked him. But as JAEBALL said, it's his job, it's what he does.

I never said I liked him. But as JAEBALL said,

, it's what he does.
Yup, that's what I said.
So, given that...what do you suspect his primary motivation is, in that respect. Given everything you've read from him, everything he's said, and the way he conducts himself?
Which, again, is fine.
But when the infomercial guy tells you that ShamWow is the greatest thing since sliced bread....do you believe him?

What gets me is that rock journalists don't seem to be very good at their jobs. Don't these guys have moles on the inside that gets them access to information so they can do more than provide the same speculation that us clueless fans provide? Isn't that how it works in all other areas, politics, sports, etc.
Too much work, now a days. Why not just rampantly speculate? It drives more clicks, and thus more ad revenue. And it's a hell of a lot easier!
And, keep in mind, this isn't exclusive to Trunk, either. It's reflective of the news media, as a whole.
Trunk isn't, by far, the worst offender, either.
But I think it's hilarious (and a little sad) that folks go all ga ga over his speculation, like it actually means anything other than "Hey, I was thinking: MAYBE, just MAYBE", without anything more concrete.
Trunk is taking a very far leap, absent any other evidence, on what the silence means. Nothing more complicated than that...a flying leap.
I don't think there is anything sad about having a strong opinion about poor journalism. A lot of clickbait sites like that dreadful alterntive nation repeat what Trunk says as gospel. People don't have to believe what I believe or agree with me. But that doesn't make it sad.

LOL...I actually meant it as AGREEING with exactly your sentiment. That "modern journalism" and it's fascination with clickbait is AWFUL. That first line was totally sarcastic.
I don't mean I find it sad that people take ISSUE with his speculation.
I mean I find it funny, and a little sad, that people take his speculation SERIOUSLY.
Edit: When you're working on a post and an email at the same time..and you sign your name to both.
