It's not. The Falcons have a reporter from the Atlanta Journal Constitution (D. Orlando Ledbetter) who can barely write a paragraph without a typo, unattributed tidbit, or complete factual inaccuracy. And he typically only writes one or two paragraphs in his stories; I imagine he takes his notes in crayon. His attitude toward his assignment is on par with the worst of Miami's reporters but I find every Dolphins beat writer to be much better technical writers.
A lot of Falcons fans hate his guts. Even though YKW, Perkins, and others seem to hate their jobs, they at least are competent.
My problem with the Fins' writers is I don't need attitude written into articles. If you feel the need to be critical, put it into a commentary and I'll ignore it but don't pepper disrespectful BS in with accounts about something that happened with the team. It seems like almost all of them are in a contest to let us know how much they take the team's lack of success to be an affront to their dignity. And Walker just approaches it like reporting is something that pays the bills, so why be the best?
