Sarah Palin calls ESPN ‘a journalistic embarrassment’
The Washington Times ^ | August 28, 2015 | Jessica Chasmar

Posted on 08/28/2015 10:20:17 AM PDT by jazusamo

Sarah Palin ripped ESPN as “a journalistic embarrassment,” following the network’s suspension of baseball analyst Curt Schilling for a tweet that compared radical Muslims to Nazis.

“ESPN — what happened to you? Your intolerant PC police are running amok and making a joke out of you!” the former Alaska governor wrote in a Facebook post Thursday night. “By picking and choosing who they’ll tolerate and who they’ll try to destroy, ESPN has zero credibility as a sound and reasonable media outlet.”

Her comments come after ESPNsuspendedMr. Schilling for what it called a “completely unacceptable” tweet, which contained a meme that read: “It’s said only 5-10% of Muslims are extremists. In 1940, only 7% of Germans were Nazis. How’d that go?”

Mrs. Palin argued that Mr. Schilling’s tweet was accurate, and actually “too generous in estimating Muslims’ attitudes.”

ESPN is loaded with sports writers and media talking heads who are just as leftist as their counterparts in the MSM.

Chris Berman is the worst and one of the worst sports announcers in the history of broadcasting.

However, Hildabeast can compare her opponents’ views on women to be “like terrorists” and that’s OK with the MSM, the propaganda arm of the Democratic party.
Even though her husband is a serial sex offender, her party supports a `religion of peace’ that actually does murder and terrorize women and even though she is a hell-on-wheels lawbreaker and browbeats women (ahem) under her ... well, that’s OK.
Once again, like Trump, Sarah is right and it drives the left bonkers.
In times like these, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
Bang a gong, bring it on. Go Trump, SARAH!

They’re sissies and hypocrites

All their edicts come from their little white enclaves

And remember all the harassment claims and frat boy comparisons?

ESPN is a wholly owned subsidiary of ABCDisney, which is totally committed to supporting the Leftist Agenda.

I never figured ESPN was ever supposed to be “journalistic”...since sports aren’t really journalism.

They do need, however, to stay out of the political arena. They ain’t good at it...and sports fans don’t care what they think. LOL!

Just post the scores, dudes!

I wonder if my sports announcer FRiend agrees. :)

I stopped taking ESPN seriously after the Rush fiasco. It was clear they were playing in the shallow end of the pool.

not sure they are into journalism, so maybe more of an entertainment embarassment
