In the end the fans always turn on the beat writer.

The majority of fans do not want objectivity ... they want a shard of hope that their wildest fantasies about their team might come true; this is primarily because their fandom of their favorite team is an escapism from a stressful everyday life.

Writers that tell it like it is ... will be devoured; better to tell the collective that there is no bogey man, the wolf doesn't get to eat little red riding hood.
