I know that while a sportswriter at the Louisvile Courier-Journal, Pat Forde was suspended for unethical journalism. I just wish that I could find an article that provided documentation. All I can find are lots of blogs with people saying that they remember it, but nothing official. I think it would help people to remember that Forde is unethical to spew his unfounded opinions as fact. Jacobkiper (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 21:02, 11 June 2009 (UTC).Reply

The most of the "Journalistic Style" section is written in a clearly slanted and pejorative tone. Furthermore, the article lacks cites following the discussion of Forde's coverage of Bobby Petrino. This article should be flagged for bias and its prevailing editorial tone. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.137.200.6 (talk) 17:01, 30 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
I think the "Journalistic Style" section is factual and well-documented, and if anything should be greatly expanded upon with more sources pointing out the similar manner in which Forde talks about numerous sports figures. Forde is constantly trying to assassinate people's character, tear down sports conferences, and generally destroy anything that isn't Rick Pitino. It's not libel or bias if it's true - that is, quite simply, Forde's style. The current Style section only looks biased because it just points out one incident and doesn't really develop the seemingly unstated thesis that the way Forde talked about Petrino is, in fact, very much Forde's style. Forde's body of work makes that undeniable.

I just removed this because it was not notable and had nothing to do with his journalistic style. It was just a description of an article he wrote with a link to it. I also revamped the rest of the page to make it flow better and added sources, so I removed the tag. - Maximusveritas (talk) 05:03, 19 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
