Anderson’s post race interview with Cooksey was a good one. Jason said Cooksey is blocked on IG because of an article on Alson and drugs. Can someone point me to where I can find this article?

That being said, he doesn't hide the fact that he's impartial. This isn't media. It's click-bait.
It's sad that the MX media is more concerned with being everyone's buddy. (I understand why because they'll essentially get shut out.) This isn't journalism.
Unfortunately there's an story here. However, when the media guy offers his opinion, it's no longer telling the news, it's editorializing. He's only going to find what he wants to find because he looking with a biased lens.
Bummer is, with the 24hr news cycle, media = entertainment, not news/ journalism. I like to formulate my own opinion based on facts not have them spoon-fed to me.
Want to make the AMA better, the sport better, racing better? Be a journalist...provide facts not opinions.
For what its worth, I respect how Jason answered Cooksey's questions, especially about Aldon.
Praising the AMA with a blindfold on isn't going to make AMA better. I'm struggling to understand the point you're trying to make, since it doesn't seem to go with the interview posted.
That was one of the silliest diatribes that I have read in a long while. I don't frequent motoxaddicts, so I hadn't ever read this rant.
Not too sure on the AMA comment. That's going in pretty hard but I'd probably feel the same way in his position.

So that would be why he got 2 places where the others got 1 , (the other riders mentioned did not gain places in their off track excursions) he got the same penalty as forkner did
He doesn’t accuse anybody. But he does ask some pertinent questions. Difficult to wriggle out of. Difficult to explain why either party can’t or won’t give a clear answer.
As time goes on I’m afraid I am of the opinion that Broc did it himself. Not that he was trying to cheat his way to an advantage, but he just wasn’t careful enough.
KTM knows this and that’s why he was canned.
Broc knows it too, that’s why he hasn’t kicked up a big fuss about blaming somebody else and providing evidence of that.
Furthermore nobody else on the Aldon program has been caught out.
Look back a few years to ‘Davi’s locker’- kawi made a statement- that statement was sacking him. Davi didn’t make any statement. No more was said or done... who was the guilty party in that do you think? Kawi or Davi??
The KTM & Broc situation is the same IMO.
Ktm’s ‘statement ‘ is sacking him. Broc.... well, he’s not made any ‘statement ‘ as far as I’m concerned. Otherwise there would be a law suit or at the very least some very dirty accusations and bad feeling being thrown around.
I don’t think badly of Broc, I like him, but that doesn’t change I think the mistake was all his.
In another breath..
As fans, aren’t we obsessed with knowing everything about our sport? Cooksey being controversial, gets a different side and response to all the other journalists who are too afraid to ask pertinent questions. Most of em won’t even ask “are you sick this week?”
