so with Roy Masters adding to the mess today, I figured Id see who people believe is actually informed on the mess and who is just taking wild stabs in the dark.
Who do you believe to be the most trustworthy reporter on this mess?

Gerard Whately is the one who got one of the most important aspects of this whole saga 100% correct, against much opposition.
If my memory serves me well, this board dedicated a whole thread to belittling him even though he got it right.

Have I ever seen Patrick Smith in the same room as Patrick Robinson?
Like most situations in the AFL, there are posters on this forum who know more about it than the media.
Every single snout is in a trough.
That is not being cynical. It is being realistic.
EVERY journalist needs to be filtered for agenda when reading them, watching them or listening to them.
When you learn the correct filtering dosages, things become easy to grasp.

Baker and Mckenzie wrote a couple of great investigative articles with the infamous Dank interview. They seemed quite impartial compared to most of the other players.
Caro is being hand fed so she knows her stuff and we know her angle and intent.....bury Hird.
Le Grand is a joke and Robbo is emotionally wrecked by it. I do feel for Tim Watson, he is in a shithouse position and has rightfully looked after his son, if I was him I would have snapped by now.

Baker and McKenzie.

Why would Baker and Mckenzie have any vested interest in this, on either side?
I'm not saying they have a vested interest. But like ALL journalists, they need to be basically filtered.
That is not always a negative connotation by the way.
For example, you need to realise who all journalists likely sources are first before you can properly understand or disect what they are saying.

For some reason Baker leads McKenzie 9-6 lol
I would have said Kent Brockman but after having dealt with journalists before I'm pretty much convinced that a strict adherence to known facts doesn't appear on anybody's job description. Take them all with a pinch of salt in my view.
Caro,because she's always right no matter what 
why no blackcat option?

There's a Grant Baker that has been writing on it too. Don't get confused which is which!
Baker and MacKenzie started strong but have done not much since.

Lots of Love for Baker and McKenzie (Fairfax) streets ahead at the moment, Caro coming in third something of a surprise, and Kent Brockman failing to make place.
