  • Grandich Comes out in Support of David Tyree
    Peter Grandich, Managing Member Office Location: 2431 Atlantic Ave, Manasquan (Wall), NJ [email protected] Mailing Address P.O. Box 245, Perrineville, NJ 08535 DATE: June 20, 2011 CONTACT: Peter Grandich Phone 732-642-3992 [email protected] Grandich comes out in support of David Tyree WALL, NJ - This is America, the birthplace of freedom in the modern world; where freedom of speech is not just guaranteed, it is one of the foundations upon which our country was established. In the U.S.A., everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion. Except, it seems, for 2008 Super Bowl sensation David Tyree. In an online video posted June 15, Tyree made some gutsy statements about his views of gay marriage, and has since taken a beating in the media for it. Tyree, the former NY Giant whose “Helmet Catch” was the defining moment of Super Bowl XLII and one of the greatest plays in Super Bowl history, recorded the video because he opposes the notion of gay marriage, and says he’s simply voicing his opinion. “I am not political,” he says in the video. “I believe there is right and wrong. I think many things are subjective, but truth is not. Marriage [among a man and woman] is the backbone of our society.” In response to the negative avalanche of comments published about Tyree and the video, market commentator Peter Grandich has come out in his defense. Grandich, managing member of Trinity Financial Sports & Entertainment Co., blogged on his internationally-followed social and economic blog Grandich.com that he supports Tyree and agrees with his conservative stance.

    The following chapter was provided by John McManus and describes The SMELL Test, “a way to distinguish ethical journalism from propaganda, fake news and junk journalism.” The chapter comes from his recent book, Detecting Bull: How to Identify Bias and Junk Journalism in Print, Broadcast and on the 8 Wild Web, and includes several classroom activities The SMELL Test Everybody is sitting around saying, 'Well, jeez, we need somebody to solve this problem of bias.' That somebody is us. ~ Wilma Mankiller, late Cherokee leader Some fake news is obviously ridiculous.
