ESPN banned staffers from the New York Post from appearing on any of its programming on Wednesday after the newspaper published photos this week taken from a video showing sideline reporter Erin Andrews...

"Kelly McBride, a journalism ethics expert with the Florida-based Poynter Institute, said..."

"There is some illegally obtained material, leaked documents or video of a CIA person torturing a soldier, or stuff taken out of Gitmo, that I think has great public importance," McBride said. "But this doesn't do that at all."

"CIA person torturing a soldier"
American CIA hero = "person"
Muslim terrorist = "soldier"
and of course enhanced interrogation = "torture"

And that is from a "journalism ethics expert." Any wonder why the MSM is the way it is. (But... the photo with the article is not bad.)

[ To FReepers on patrol for double postings: Yes, I know. But this is an important angle - missed on that post and all of its comments - that I thought merited it's own posting. Also: This is NOT a post on the nude video.]

What is this a reference to?

What video is journalism ethics expert Kelly McBride referring to?

New York Times = the National Enquirer.

Actually I didn't mean to insult the Enquirer.

Your post is a good catch, typical of the bias.

Someone drilled a peephole into the hotel room of a ESPN reporter and took videos of her.

Personally I think the people who downloaded the video are the kind that download snuff films or child porn.

That's in the article. But, you are OK with "CIA person torturing a soldier?"

>>>> That’s in the article. But, you are OK with “CIA person torturing a soldier?” <<<<

What in the heck are you talking about? Your statement is incoherent and has no basis in reality.

Whatever it is, the answer in “no.”

I assume you can recognize your own postings... now try reading my responses, along with the quotes from the article or my original comment, to which they refer.
