And Cox wasn't winking, he was certainly aware of the fuss it caused and that he needs to approach these things with that in mind in the future. He takes his craft seriously. At least that's the feeling I got in grilling him a little myself.

As it is, yeah the interview might have sounded a little harsh, but the more important point is that Blake, at 17 or 18, manned up, admitted he made a fuck up, apologised and is looking to move on...
Maybe some of you bitches should do the same...
Well let me share with you, it came off as a pompous ass interviewing a nice kid who screwed up.
aaaand back to topic in 5, 4, 3, 2...
Just a note about the subscription though...I haven't had a magazine subscription in over 3 years. So, that was a bit of an embellishment.
get your panties out of a wad.

And acting like that interview was some sort of finger-wagging is just pissy hyperbole. Every other week Cox gets accused of kissing too much ass. He goes straight to the point, covers every detail and still gets outcry from you malcontents.
I don't read his stuff anymore and if it wasn't for the blow up here I wouldn't have read the Blake interview either.
Steve interjects himself into his interviews way too much. Anything you read by Steve is going to have a completely biased and over-rationalized opinion. It is annoying to read so I don't.
I used to do the same thing when I was in college studying journalism. I got called on it several times when I had my own column in the school paper. But I was young, dumb and learning. Steve is supposed to be a professional.
When I read Racer X interviews I want to read what the riders have to say. I don't want to read Steve's opinion interjected in it nor do I really care who the interviewer is as long as they are not making themselves part of the story.
Unfortunately, Steve can't keep himself out of the story.
The fact that Racer X felt necessary to do an Interview with the journalist instead of a follow up with Trey about the incident is proof that the original interview did not provide us, the readers, with the opinion we wanted to see from Blake.
IMO, the story should be Blake and Trey. Steve should just be a bylline.

That is only because DC responded and now every know it all is going to feel like they can jump in and feel important. (including me)
If you like his style, read it.
If you don't, don't read it.
I have come to find that no matter what he does, or how he does it, there are going to be a number of people here that don't like it. That's OK, he probably doesn't like some of the things those people. Life's short, don't sweat the small stuff.
Anyone that can't see humor in the "5 min with Steve Cox" needs to lighten up A LOT.
And x2 what Crush and Grendel said.
