espn has morphed into a media bully. They have a robust sport media position, control a high per cent of visual content and plague the video/radio airways with 18-hour diatribes. Over time this essential command of sport media has allowed espn producers/managers to manufacture any story that commands controversy. If espn only reports that which supports their position, who is to demand fair, objective reportage? Until espn has a rival sport media which counters much of their controversial reporting, they will continue to pump bilge water.
Much of the espn comments on Buckeyes/MC/Geiger/Tressel was pure opinion based upon speculation. I thought some of May's and the Nebraska cornholer's statements on JT and AG were absolutely bush league and uncalled for. My guess is: they read what a program producer puts on the monitor.
