In looking at the Billiard web site I see where they say the piece that was posted regarding KT was part of a story that is going to appear in the Billiard Digest magazine. I think in light of what the interview has stirred up they need to post the complete article as it will appear in the magazine. I know it was meant to be a teaser but even KT does not deserve to be quoted out of context or put in a worse or better light then would be perceived if the whole article was presented. A lot of people don't subscribe to Billiard Digest and I think BD now has an obligation for the sense balance, truth and fair play to post it complete.

I agree.

i agree too and i'd never thought of it in that way. but yes, they do have an obligation. not publishing the rest of would skew the situation.
 
I think it's brilliant of BD to do it this way, and I respect their right to do so.

Why should they give away their work for free, when they can get people signing up for BD instead? They would be pretty dumb to print it all. What's then in it for them? A couple of more visits on their page, before it is copied and is on all the internet forums?

Your kidding right?

Too cheap to buy the magazine?

Ask KT for a loan.

If that's a "teaser", what's the main course? He skewered KT pretty good already.

Magazines as any kind of news source are a thing of the past. By the time they reach the news stands or are mailed out the stories are several generations old or just plain yesterdays news. I only just got the current issue of BD. so the next one will not be out for some time. By then we will already know the punch line and the story will be a who cares, no one is going to buy the magazine for old news. They make money off the web site nothing wrong with a little extra traffic for a day or so.

I used to look at their forum but that Dr. guy what ever his name is, single handily drove everybody away and with this site being the voice of the IPT I doubt hardly anyone reads the BD site any more. Why do you think they posted the story, for some extra traffic. Now back to your trailer Jake, your lunch is ready and it's time for your nap. I also thought I was on your blocked list, what are you doing reading my posts?

There is no difference in what BD is doing than what many news organizations do. When Dateline gets an exclusive interview, they show short cuts on the Today show. The idea is to get you interested enough to tune in to Dateline, where they make more revenue.

BD has some news of interest to a lot of people. They don't make money when you read it on their web site. They do make money when you buy the magazine.

"Tune in tonight for the entire interview"
It's business

There is a difference. You won't be tuning to ESPN next month to get the results of the World Series it will be old news, same here they might just as well do what they can now while it is fresh and their exclusive. The web site by the way has advertisers and web traffic has value. They may have gotten many more hits today then they normally get and that has value when it comes to selling space. In fact, by the time the story is on the stands it may even prove to be full of inaccuracies. They have to present it as soon as they can for it to be relevant since it is a work in progress and changes by the day.

You know, the biased liberal media excluded the part where KT comes roaring back with a rapid fire barrage of sound, cogent explanations for everything, knocks the interviewer back on his heels with his devastating wit, and fully justifies everything that has happened in straightforward irrefutable terms. They only put the stuff into the teaser that makes him look bad.

And you think this is what happened? Puhleeese!!!

You don't know Panozzo then at all. He is not one to pull punches, or hide behind the Publisher's desk. The man is a damn good journalist and reporter.

That is why BD is the benchmark in this industry.

To put it in a nutshell, KT has pissed off a SOCIETY and by sending out these chunks of wood the fire is burning brightly. If he somehow escapes this Houdini will have to take a back seat. When you think about him not paying Efren, to the Phillipinos it would be like Michael Jordan not getting paid. Boy I see all this negativness has built up soooooo much I hope this fiasco will become front page on Sports Illustrated, now that's some ink.
