picking and choosing who they’ll tolerate and who they’ll try to destroy

That pattern was pretty clear after so-called conservative Craig James sicced his ESPN colleagues on Mike Leach at Texas Tech.

I don’t think I could pick out just one channel or network as a journalistic embarrassment

Thank you Sarah.

To the useful idiots and nazi supporters at ESPN!







They are one and the same ESPN boot lickers!

Another channel I don’t have to worry about watching and I’ve had them clearly on my radar since they trashed Rush Limbaugh.

They have the style of Stalin in them, purging opinions they don’t like.

When Joe Paterno was hustled out as Penn State coach over the Sandusky sex abuse case, the student rioters were angry that night blaming the media and overturned a truck belonging to the local television station.

Maybe they should have been looking for the ESPN logo?

I’m not into violence but if I were President of the United States right now ABC would be banned from the White House in response to this along with their news partner, the BBC.

Sports can, and does, generate great journalism.

That said, BSPN’s PC police are as bad as anyone else’s in the modern media.

I’d have to agree with Sarah’s assessment here. And ESPN went downhill in 06 with the ABC merger.

I never figured ESPN was ever supposed to be “journalistic”...since sports aren’t really journalism.

Do you remember how long Rush lasted as an announcer for football? Do you remember that he tried to buy a football team?

a tweet that compared radical Muslims to Nazis.

The Nazi's had TWO SS Divisions of Muslim Nazi storm troopers.

I don’t think I was listening to him then. Seems like there was a lot of controversy involved, though.

Fascinating.

Muslims and ESPN both treat women like pieces of meat. No wonder ESPN is "cross" at Schilling dissing their spiritual brethren...
