Let’s start by giving some props to Michael Cohen.
His rookie campaign covering the Packers for the Journal Sentinel took a turn towards the blacklist when the JS decided to release his story delving into the criminal history of Letroy Guion during the Packer bye week.
The resulting brouhaha, including some of my own criticism of Bob McGinn’s overly defensive follow-up article, had little to do with Cohen. There was nothing wrong with the piece itself, which seemed a well-researched piece of relevant journalism. The main sore point for Packers’ brass seemed to be the timing involved.
