AP Poll December 9 - UConn still #2

[PacoSwede]

Feunberg is a long time excellent reporter of wcbb.

Patterson had little impact in her 1 year of playing so it’s a big stretch to record her absence as impactful.
Ducharme, unfortunately, is probably done.
Griffin is a notable player but UConn has more than enough bodies without her. It’s not like ND which is basically going 6, and is without key player in westbeld.

Could’ve been worded better but hardly a huge slight.

doesn't matter. he wrote that uconn is at FULL strength, and ap editors -- if there are any -- let it go.

it is not so, false and pathetic journalism (which is too common these days).

His story was dated Monday and Fudd was injured on Saturday. It was sloppy journalism at best. He seemed to be finding an excuse for NDame only. He could have just mentioned the Irish missing and left it but he specifically said "full strength" for UConn.

Media these days often seems to be openly used as simply an avenue for these so-called journalists to present, not the news as it really is, but rather as they wish it to be! It is truly a dangerous and threatening reality for all people who value truth and freedom!

Obviously, this is pretty inconsequential in the grand scheme of things but still, a troubling confirmation of the media’s incompetence, indifference, and/or outright bias! There are still good, honest, and conscientious journalists out there though! You just have to work harder at finding them!

Doug Feinberg has been covering women’s hoops for decades and usually covers UConn. He made a mistake. I hope wherever you guys work, your bosses aren’t as brutal after such a small error

feinberg is a good reporter. i enjoy his work.

but of course he's not perfect. that's why a news organization -- particularly one as ubiquitous as AP -- is supposed to have a backup to catch the errors before they make it out there. Then, especially in this cyber era with so many trying to stir up controversy, they are spread widely.

in this case, the misinformation doesn't mean much. it's not that important. the problem, for me at least, is that the journalistic process failed. And badly, somebody should have caught the error, because it was an obvious one. that it was not vital is beside the point. it's an example of deteriorating standards that need to be upheld, for everybody's sake.

doug no doubt agrees on this point. Probably was p.o.'d that the embarrassing, though trivial, goof made it to print.

p.s. Where i worked i considered even small errors to be brutal, but they happen. learn and move on.

I'm not too worked up about the polls, but I'm puzzled at the thinking process of the six coaches who voted Connecticut #1 last week, and switched their votes to UCLA this week ("Oh, they crushed a top-25 team, while UCLA beat an unranked team by 11? I guess I should change my vote to UCLA, then.")
