Ambrosie: The Right Choice

[rdavies]

Often times, an author will use the tried and true "unnamed source" to publish the writer's own opinion. And it wouldn't surprise me if someone there thought Ambrosie was getting a little too popular for his britches and someone at 3dnation wanted to take him down a few pegs. In this case, it was called an unnamed player, which is fairly shoddy journalism. I'm not buying it.

They've shown some bad judgement before with the Genie Bouchard episode.

Bad judgement in getting the story or even exaggerating its importance is one thing but totally faking it is taking quite a risk for a journalist. It happens occasionally (more often in the National Enquirer if you consider that journalism) but it can end a career in disgrace if the truth comes out. I doubt that this is what happened here.
