Rams Hire Mole in KTRS/FSN-Midwest

When I studied politics, I was really disheartened to see just how many politicians are corruptible. When I did my turn to look into the broadcasting field, I have found that the same ratio of corrupted media types were about the same.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch has broken a story claiming that the well known commentator, John Hadley, was hired as a consultant to the St. Louis Rams. Some fans and other journalists fear that there might be a conflict of interest. Even Hadley agrees,
"It's not a perfect situation by any means," Hadley acknowledges. "I'll have to be very careful"
I guess he's not worried now that as long as he gets paid. The concern is that as long as he is employed by the Rams, he can use his broadcasting position to spin the news in favor of the Rams.

I don't know if you follow any of the sports scene in St. Louis, but this "marriage" is getting carried away. Hadley/the rams are banning other radio stations and broadcasters from attending coach Martz's weekly press conferences.
