Item No. 2 on The Score sports highlight broadcast tonight and, I imagine, fairly high on the roster of the other sports, er, highlight, shows.
The release of the NHL schedule. Woooheee! They highlighted some, alleged, key games, as if we can't figure it out for ourselves or, better yet, figure it out based on the standings at a given point in time next season.
The release of a schedule is a story? News? Talk about press-release journalism. Where's the critical editorial thinking? Throw it on the sports scoreboard page and be done with it (even so, who'll remember; put it on the scoreboard page when the season is about to begin).
No wonder traditional media is in trouble.
