In ESPN's online article about Geiger and Tressel defending the program as 'honest', they quote Shapiro calling Geiger's accusations 'blatantly misguided' before they even mention what they are.
More solid journalisn. Discredit the opposition's story before you even let us know what they are saying.
Geiger didn't even say much. He didn't directly hammer ESPN very hard, at least not nearly what he'd like to say. He said he'd never seen anything like it and that he couldn't understand what their agenda was.
ESPN is also failing to mention any of Geiger's actual facts that discredit the story. Like the stats that he had about the percentage of football players in MoC's classes. One class had 19% football players, most were in single digits, and there were a few where MoC was the only football player enrolled. Obviously part of a cake curriculum designed only for the football team.
But those stats would discredit their story, so in the interest of 'fair and balanced' reporting ESPN doesn't mention them.
