One of ESPN’s top executives accused Fox Sports of advocating what he called a false notion that the network operates with a liberal bias.

“The whole narrative is a false one that was seeded and perpetuated primarily by a direct business competitor,” said Burke Magnus, ESPN’s executive vice president of programming and scheduling. “We have no political agenda whatsoever.”

[C19fan]

Still in denial stage.

“We have no political agenda whatsoever.”

Just what you'd expect someone with a Left-wing political agenda to say.

Whatever helps him sleep at night, I guess...

The “cord-cutter” numbers that are eating at his bottom-line can’t include anybody who came to that conclusion on their own, right??? Riiiigghhtt...

[BenLurkin]

“Bias” understates the problem.

[Eddie01]

LOL - so true

When you are standing there in a blue suit and someone points out you’re wearing a blue suit and you tell the crown you are not wearing a blue suit which you clearly are, as you say, you are in denial.

[jjotto]

Pot, meet kettle. Fox Sports is almost as kooky Left as ESPN.

[LostPassword]

There's no bias. We supported Bernie and Hillary equally. CNN and the DNC cannot say that. - ESPN executive

"We have no political agenda whatsoever."

"I am not a crook."

A True Believer regards his opinions as facts, beyond dispute. Anything true to his faith is objective Truth, and anyone that disagrees is an evil liar.

[mountn man]

It's the "left" that is the center.

Everybody else is biased.

[jmaroneps37]

Do we really care what these liars say?

Found a job for USA hating Kapernick yet?

That’s almost as funny as the latest New York Times slogan - Reporting Without Agendas

[Da Coyote]

ESPN is still searching for their second IQ point.

A bigger collection of cretins existeth nowhere.

No, wait, forgot about the CA legislature.

[HLPhat]

Lol.

Eisner let that cat out of the bag 20 years ago.

If 40+ percent of Disney was homosexual back then, there’s reason to think things have improved.

ESAD, rat worshipers.

[Graybeard58]

Fox Sports is almost as kooky Left as ESPN.

Fox Sports Midwest hired Keith Oberman.

Doesn’t understand the “Rule of Holes”.

“We have no political agenda whatsoever.”

LOL, it’s why I quit watching, you idiots.

[FredZarguna]

Typical of the liberal view of everyone else: "our viewers could not possibly have come to this realization on their own. Therefore, it must have been spoon-fed to them by someone with a bias."

Meanwhile, the political distance between ESPN and FoxSports is roughly that between Tweedledum and Tweedledee.

[stinkerpot65]

ESPN = left wing thugs.
