It isn't. Reporting has been slanted and based on half understood facts since the days of the first printing presses.A big FU to Mort and his ******** reporting of this incident..
Equally complicit are all of the media outlets who chose to follow along instead of doing their own reporting, seems to be a trend among many of the modern day mediots.. do not think just sensationalize.
Mort was the catalyst for much of the subsequent hysteria, but those who jumped on this bandwagon are equally responsible..
The quality at ESPN is horrendus, they need to clean house
I used to enjoy tuning in to ESPN radio. Now it's totally unlistenable for most of the day.
This is a big problem with the media as a whole in 2017.
I agree with you Kontra with one correction: this is a problem that's gotten even bigger in 2017. The rush to be first -- damn the truth -- is in no way unique to 2017. This has been building up for years.
If the media rush to truth is the equivalent of a rock concert, 2017 is simply the equivalent of the big Neil Peart drum solo.
It's been going on for long enough that in the 18th century there was a saying about lies flying to the corners of the earth before the truth could get its boots on.
But I did a research project about the spread of lies in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the truth, if it ever came to light, received very little coverage compared to the lie. If you want your story to be the "orthodox" version of the tale, tell it first and tell it wide. The NFL used a seemingly willing Mortensen to do exactly that.
Mort is a disgusting POS, and for the reason you posted i DON'T care about him and his cancer diagnoses.He let an innocent guy that for all accounts is a great human being go under the public trial already convicted due to the lies
suprised theres no “Rise and fall of Bspn” on YT yet..
What's to disagree with? He IS dying. His cancer has recurred and spread to his lungs. I doubt he has a year to live.
King...Mortensen...any of these people who make their living off of their access to the NFL and its teams are, in the end, nothing but sycophants who get compensated very well for being an extension of the 345 Park PR operation.Peter King deserves as much wrath as Mort. I literally have not watched a talkimg heads NFL show simce deflategate. I noticed that Peter King had some kind of segment anout Brady on YouTube the other day so I bit. He tells people, don’t hate Brady because he ‘s 40 (like anyone hated him for being 40); if you have a problem with his air pressure in footballs, that ‘s fair to question him. This is 2.5 years later. This ass clown is still bringing it up like it ‘s fact. He ‘s a dumb f *ck. Can’t believe Tom gave him his post SB51 interview.
That Karma! She do be a beeitch.Mort is not a good person. He knowingly let Brady and the Patriots get raked over the coals because of someone else's personal vendetta. He had no problem sacrificing an innocent man's reputation because he thought it would help his career
F him. I'm sorry he's dying, but it won't make me forget the sh!tty thing he did
