Possible Reason Why People Hate the Media:

Here is Billy Gillisipie, former Aggie Coach, and now former UK coach, too, trying the “I am on the phone” trick. I will bet whatever Billy Clyde’s buyout is that there is nobody on that phone. Great use of a prop, though. Of course, the results he gets are not what he had planned as Lexington TV man has watched his “how to be a Investigative Reporter” instructional DVD.

Funny and Sad. Thank Goodness for Youtube.

    You would think that he was some child molester and Chris Hansen was after him. I guess not winning enough games there is about the same thing.

    Some people in the media give their profession a very bad reputation. Seems like this is true in other professions in the world too… lawyers, politicians, teachers, etc.
    I wonder if that reporter would like a member of his own family treated that way. Come to think of it, he might treat them that way himself.

    He is obviously on hold with Direct TV, give him a break.

    unbelievable. That reporter is a huge a-hole.

    And Billy? Do you think he regrets not having an agent now?

    Did the reporter really think he was going to get a comment after the first shrug off? “Here’s a good idea, let’s follow a guy who doesn’t want to talk, then walk into a building that someone had to use a badge to get in. We can’t get in trouble, because we’re the media.”

    Guess they don’t teach body language or common sense at journalism school (or at least not at the school he went to – if he went).

    That is sick. I person who just lost his job has people like this chasing him down & while he is on the phone. Have some respect. This is as bad as the reporters/photographers outside of Natasha Richardson house after she died.
