My disdain for Zach started before he even started covering SJU. His favorite thing to do would be to write a a big juicy headline that mostly wasn't true, just for eyeballs. Old fashioned clickbait. He then a whole story based on zero facts and then months later when it was proven that his story was a bunch on BS, he refused to write a correction or follow-up and offered a terrible excuse when asked about it. So basically he had no interest in being an actual journalist because the original story was much juicier than the correction. But I won't get into details on that.
If I had to choose between this staff and the previous staff, I would choose this staff 100 out of 100 times. That said, Zach has become nothing but a mouthpiece for the current staff, continuing to publish stuff that he knows may or may not be true. That is not helpful to us as fans, and that is not his job. When Marillac started the Slice rumors and that spread around the fanbase, naturally the fans started asking Zach on Twitter if the rumors were true. Not only did Zach flat-out deny they were true, he mocked anybody that would ask. So either he's not actually fully plugged in or he knew what Marillac knew but denied them because staff wanted those rumors squashed until Slice actually left. Now, how does that benefit us as fans if Zach is knowingly lying to us?
Basically, ZB has essentially become what Marco Baldi is here in that he has his own agenda and posts stuff just to fit that agenda, regardless of if there is any truth to it. Aside from ZB being pro-SJU and Baldi being anti-SJU, the only difference is Zach is actually supposed to be a journalist and shouldn't just be the propaganda machine for the staff.
I get thats how the game is played and if the staff wants a fluff piece on how successful the transfers have been and what-not that's fine, but continuing to spread false info to the fans doesn't benefit us. But hey, if you are fine with that just because you're happy somebody is covering SJU, that's cool
