ESPN CONTINUES IT'S 'NO ROETHLISBERGER' REPORTING
I just sat thru "NFL Live" & "Rome is Burning" on ESPN & they continue to dodge the Ben Roethlisberger story. The "NFL Live" show was all about those 2 quarterbacks I don't talk about,(because it's just filler, no real news) it was probably 75% of the show. What I found shocking was Jim Rome's blackout, I figured it would be hard to muzzle him, not so apparently.
This decision to act like none of this has happened in the last 18 hours is absolutely ridiculous & indefensible. I railed on the media for their sleazy reporting after the deaths of Michael Jackson & Steve McNair but no one died here, no orphaned children to protect & there are no criminal charges, the lawsuit is readily available to anyone with an internet connection, why avoid talking about it? I have also been very critical of news organizations that attempt to shape the news by not telling the whole story or by not telling us anything, as in this case. Is Roethlisberger's upcoming appearance on the ABC reality show "Shaq Vs" figuring into this decision? ABC owns ESPN & their sports departments are almost one in the same. Very strange goings-on up in Bristol.
