Stick to known facts...why hold him to higher standards than the rest of that profession?

Any odd job Bob can be a ‘journalist’ these days with a keyboard and too much time on their hands.
Social media is rife with pages of related content which is just copy and pasting a paragraph and filling it out with loads of pointless text.
My opinion is that social media should completely ban any form of freelance journalism except by officially recognised organisations or the clubs themselves.
Social media should just be what it was intended for to chat, meet and talk to friends and other people. Instead it’s become a playground for fake pages, people, profiles and media along with advertising to phish for data on personal users. It’s disgracefully unregulated and volatile.

Spot on. It's criminally misused and seemingly unaccountable.

Gledhill isn't a journalist, never has been. He volunteers for a radio station, which he's actually pretty decent at considering he's an amateur. Everything else he just makes up.

I don't disagree with what you say, however Mr Gledhill is under the illusion (or delusion) that he is a journalist and his social media bio backs that up as it says this in his profiles. "Broadcast Journalist for @WestYorksRadio @Pulse1Radio @TheRFL #RugbyLeague on @WestYorksRL Sunday afternoon and TheFull80Mins show. "
What's pink & hard first thing in the morning? The financial time crossword
jebus, have a word with yourselves, Gledhill has the right to an opinion and also the right to publish it wherever he likes, nobody has to read it. The idea that nobody can voice an opinion unless they are recognised by "official" organisations is ridiculous. Half of official organisations are a bunch of headline chasing tosspots anyway, and the other half have an agenda to push. Who decides who is a recognised org in the first place, probly another layer of tosspots,,,,lol Pick your trusted sources, do your research and make your own mind up, worry less about sources you don't control and certainly don't seek to shut them down because that **** goes both ways.
He has the right to post whatever he likes. But at the same time people have the right to call him over outright lies. Like you say, it goes both ways.
