Agreed, especially after the way some of those local news stations turned into TMZ when the tat "scandal" broke out.

TooTall has it right. Those "OSU journalists" turned into pricks last year. Even though I despise ESPN for last year as well, they've done a good job with the Training Days series. Let the local's cry about it.

I have no problem with them having limited access too. I read an interview one of them conducted recently with one of Meyer's daughters and the guy could not even go four questions before asking about Tim Tebow. It was pathetic.
On another note, giving more access to non-locals helps out more on the national recruiting stage than local hacks. I would rather the players and staff spend their very limited time with the national media.

To add to your point, it's to be expected from ESPN to be pricks... What's not expected is for your hometown newspaper/television circuits to go on a witch hunt, in a group effort to bring down OSU. I truly didn't understand why the local media basically caved into ESPN's way of "reporting".

They "caved" because it sold papers, generated hits, or added to their rating share. Ohio State fans complain, but we either viewed their content ourselves or generated enough buzz through our complaining that others checked in to see what everyone was fussing about. We are a huge fan base with a lot of $$. Good or bad Buckeye news is still Buckeye news and is good business.

I suppose, I just found the lack of support from the local media a little disheartening.

I do not choose to discuss it

I would much rather see the local newspapers go on a witch hunt in response to problems within the program than the endemic Paterno circle jerk that has been ubiquitous in Happy Valley for decades.
Let the local guys be dicks (and also let them cry when they don't get access)... it means we don't have a disgusting cult willing to cover up things for decades running the show.
