[Journalist review] Jacob Steinberg to Tier 5 (banned) (lemmy.world)

Now that we have it confirmed that ETH is staying, it's time to address Steinberg and his coverage of United from before the FA Cup final.

Steinberg broke the news that Ten Hag was sacked regardless of FA CUP final result and thus derailed the whole conversation around the FA CUP win, even affecting the coverage.

As there is no indication that Steinberg has any sources within the club, and shit stirring and clickbaiting are against my personal principles, I am of the opinion that Steinberg should be considered a banned source.

The discussion is now open if anyone has arguments for or against.

Yeah I'm in favor of this. Sounds like he just made this up expecting us to lose the final and Ten Hag to get sacked so he could be the first to report it to me.

Straight up lying about something this big is worse than simply being unreliable about transfers or whatever.

Absolutely for banning that gaping twat
