It seems incredibly weird and unbecoming to me for the General Manager of Club MX's race team to be making this cheesy TMZ Sports-ish hot takes and gossip video and posting it online regardless of whether the Jett thing is true or not.

Crazy.  When that video first dropped everyone had DBs back and ragged on RC.  Seems peoples opinions have flipped

Why do people continue to entertain anything Chris Cooksey says? Dude has been fired from multiple industry jobs (including here on Vital), has made physical violence threats (Vegas SMX '24) and is on a short list of people barred from attending the races. Sure he's been 'right' about a couple of things but he's sure as fuck been wrong about a hell of a lot of others. With the InfoWars level of slander he's thrown around, I'm surprised he hasn't been sued into oblivion.

Remember last month when Cooksey reported that Husky was shutting down their race program- Then ML commented it wasn’t true…then the next day it was officially reported that Husky was shutting down their race program?

Here's the thing with Cooks. He's letting the gossip out because he has no class. The other industry media people know the same if not more but wait till the right time to spread the message.

I remember him dragging the whole Lawrence family's name through the mud while defending their thieving ex agent, I also remember him trashing Ken Roczen and his wife at every opportunity he got, I also remember him accusing Justin Coopers wife of cheating on him, I also remember him accusing Jeffery Herlings of being a paedophile, yeah so Kooksy is all class, said no one ever.

ML never said "it wasn't true". He said what the whole world knew and that there wasn't any buzz in the pits. I will gladly listen to a reliable source with an impeccable record, who spends his free time doing investigative journalism versus some wannabe TMZ dipshit who is wrong 90% of time time and in it for himself.

Remember when Cooksey blatantly accused Dazzy of physically abusing his children? What about his blatant misrepresentation of the Aus-X open story between the Lawrences and the Deegans? How about the Mirtl lawsuit where he implied it was dismissed completely even though the proceedings are ongoing? Where is this lawsuit between Matthes and Yamaha which Cooksey keeps mentioning (who Grant Langston keeps pushing too) yet it cannot be found anywhere on the internet?

First off your username is awesome. M59 on the front is a cheat code. 

Secondly, I immediately ran to Instagram while watching DB’s show and was surprised to see literally NOTHING posted on a motorcycle since the return to the bike and got very suspicious. I really hope ML’s report from Honda holds true and he is racing this weekend. It would suck not having Jett this weekend.

Not to mention what he made up about the cause of a certain racer's death and presenting it as fact at a time when even said racer's close friends were trying to find answers. He is trash but caters to the lowest common denominator, like Brad460. They ignore all of the trash and falsehoods then dance like a giddy schoolgirl when he says something that checks out. I don't understand it but I'm not his target audience.

I’m down for all the media good and bad… Vital, SML, DB, Racer X, Title 24, Pulp, Cooksey, Burkeen, Weege etc. 

It’s all good, at least we’re not waiting for fucking Cycle News to hit the dealerships to find out who won 2 weeks ago!

Some of y’all need to lighten up.

Handled.  That’s journalism king 🫡

I never know what to believe anymore. That goes way beyond moto. Some days I wonder are there  really any credible sources anymore? A few weeks ago all over FB and cuckoo Cooksey rockstar husky was done, ML says nope heard nothing. Couple hours later rockstar husky was indeed done. More often than not lately where there’s been smoke it’s turned out to be from a fire. Hopefully not the case as it’d be great to see Jett back out there mixing it up. In fairness I do think ML is a standup journalist and tries to get it right. I cannot imagine factory Honda lying but anymore who knows.

To be fair, I think we can all agree ML, Phillips, DB and others are stand up guys, I think that goes without saying. Perhaps posting about past misinformation is cruel and unfair, despite factual. The fact of the matter is the report is only as reliable as the source. And it's not only injury or contracts we are fed bullshit about by the teams, but you also can't tell me the teams do not know exactly how much faster or less fast speculated riders like Deegan, Temmerman, and Dudney are compared to the riders they train with daily. You can't tell me there is not a story about what is going on with Baker's factory now, they just lost RJ, AP, and Malcolm, none of the other KTM 450 riders train there. There is no story about factory team's real reactions to the mishandling of penalties this SX season? Many other things, it's not a huge industry, nobody knows if Suzuki is going to build a new 450, really nobody? Nobody knows about the two stroke Kawasaki, again nobody? Jason Anderson has raced pro for 15 years, and nobody has heard from him, nobody? Some of these journalists have been involved in this sport for decades and decades, they know who should know what for sure, but the info isn't always available for us in the unwashed masses.

"unwashed masses?" 

Ouch!  

Can I use that?

This wasnt a dig at Blair's character, he's just someone that I knock 5-10% off the impact of what he says.   We all know people like that....and we all know people on the other side that understate importance.

ML getting told by Honda that everything is fine is like when CNN or MSNBC rang the "learing" centres and asked if they were fraudulent and they said no. 

I don't doubt ML spoke to Honda and they said Jett is fine. Of course they would. 

By the way, I hope Jett is fine. More top guys out there the better. But the official narrative isn't always correct.

Seve Mathis said just a few days ago that his "sources" at Honda told him Jett will be out the first 3 races.

If they were going to pull Jett from the race, they would probably announce it that morning. "race day decision".

That "article" had more grammar and spelling errors than a Helen Keller autobiography.
Atleast we know it wasnt written by AI.

Even if Jett is say 80-85% healthy he needs to race and get points. If it is so bad that he should miss the first 3 rounds maybe he should just wait until he is fully ready.
