Agreed. Scott is easily one of the top OC journalists/authors.

He gets both credit and criticism, depending on the issue, like any journalist. Much of the latter is Detroit related. But this is all old news which you are either unaware of or you're conveniently ignoring.

Agreed. I dont read much of his stuff outside of Philly though but I can say his info on Philly has been good over the last few years.

Scott's solid, he gets a lot of heat because he reports a lot on Detroit which is already a controversial subject. He throws himself directly into the middle of it.

Well, no. At the link below, which really wasn't posted correctly, is a 30 min video interview Deadline Detroit does with Scott.

To be clear, the link in question here (to the Deadline Detroit talk with Scott) didn't work because the OP mistakenly posted it as the title of the thread. It's only links to Scott's Gangster Report site that don't work properly on this forum.

Don't expect Scott's interview to be an improvement.

When it's all in good fun, I don't mind ball busting at all. Alas the Ralphie clip lol.

I don't really get why the website is blocked on here though.

And I don't think I'm better than Jerry or George. I revere those guys. They co-signed my entire career and I pay homage to them whenever I can. GA literally brought me into the biz. In terms of NYC, Jerry obviously has me beat. He's the Dean. I've never really claimed to be a Five Families "insider" or true expert. When it comes to Philly, GA is the final word. He's the best there is. Him and Dave are the most connected reporters in Philly by a long shot and I always defer to them. But ive sat with mafia dons-underbosses from four different families and numerous capos from more than a half-dozen. I've written six books on the subject.

I'm talking organized crime across all fronts in the United States. In that I believe I've established a unique niche, which has proved valuable to me in terms of work in Hollywood, Academia, TV-Radio-Docus and Publishing. I'm just as well-sourced when it comes to Italian OC in DET-CHI-PHILLY-NE as I am to high-profile African-American OC like Black Mafia Family, Gangster Disciples, etc, and MC Gang OC scene in the Midwest and East Coast (mainly Outlaws, Highwaymen, Pagans and DDs). I'm the leading expert in the country on BMF and Big Meech. I'm working for the Starz show as a consultant.

I'm just saying my reporting is not full of shit, as was expressed on here.

I posted it bc I watched the video and I think Scott has alot of intel on detroit and has alot to offer on OC in general. This board is so particular. Its like if Sammy the Bull says something on his youtube channel someone will go back to testimony 30 yrs ago and cal him liar...its just...idk it benefits us to have him on here then not...disparaging remarks dont get us any closer to the answers we seek.
