Manish Mehta

Holy shit.

I'm interested to hear how the Deadspin clown who took over the NYDN's sports department keeps his job after this.

 

Why were his Jets credentials pulled?

 

Sorry, should have added the next tweet in the thread... wooo boy...

 

Almost 4 months later Charles McDonald lets it be known? And Manish Mehta had his credentials yanked a long time ago and nobody mentioned it?

 

There was a rumor of it from some sports radio host a while back. However Manish continued to post stories and quotes on twitter.

 

Why is this a thing now, four months later?

 

This part of the conversation is illuminating:



As much as I don’t want to link to Dudspin, it seems to be the only place to roll up all the pieces of the puzzle.

Daily News beat writer allegedly tailed Jets GM’s son, kept covering team after ban from facilities

 

Also, from that thread above:



great guy, huh?

 

The lack of credentials has been an open secret in NY for months. Manish's complete lunacy and lack of journalistic integrity has been common knowledge far longer, so nobody was surprised he was still writing as if he was actually covering the team. And hey, it's 2020. You can in fact be a beat reporter from your recliner.

 

Jenny V is one of the nicest people I’ve met (granted, long ago) in the biz, and if you dislike her you’re a dick.

 

Just peeked at his Twitter mentions and it appears he is just tweeting through it. Am I wrong in thinking that his behavior at least deserves a suspension?
