The writer of this article is clearly a pathetic individual and journalist. Did you perhaps miss your online journalism class about being an Objective writer. Clearly you need to read more articles, and perhaps stop being a pompous ass and write in a way in which you are talking down about someone. You want to report something, fine, but do so in a manor where you can present the facts and you are able to convey your own rhetoric rather than your bias opinions to "woo" over your readers. No one is impressed with you calling Mr. Hall a clown and making jive comparisons about him and a line from a Jay Z song... be professional and learn to write a decent article, even if this pathetic blog is the best you can do...your not going to get anywhere deflecting your insecurities, and pathetic failures to become something real by targeting individuals who are merely looked down upon by people in society because of their past actions. Learn to come up with something new and fresh...learn to write a decent article with real substance.
Take for example, writing from the opposite perspective. An article about a once "thug" football player who gets attacked by a opponents coach. There you will have a real article full of your high school level drama, and present yourself a actual challenge trying to defend your opinion. Basically, your material needs to become real. I've showed this article to a few friends at different schools around the east coast and everyone feels the same about your poor ability to come up with a story of your own and perhaps being faced with deeper issues. Whatever the case, weather its a personal or professional issue, resolve it and I look forward to seeing you accept this challenge and changing your writing techniques and developing some good pieces in the near future...until then....
