ESPN made headlines recently for their latest round of layoffs, jettisoning approximately 100 employees, including dozens of well-known on-air personalities. In the immediate aftermath, accusations flew about why the self-proclaimed "Worldwide Leader in Sports" had to lay off employees. Many blame ESPN's perceived "liberal bias," pushing conservative-minded viewers away and for too often dipping its toes into "politics" (i.e. topics that some people are uncomfortable discussing but that may or may not actually have any direct ties to real politics). Those accusations were raised again against ESPN Radio's "The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz" when they interviewed comedian...

The account is not verified, although the bio and interactions between the user and other Twitter users indicate it belongs to the professor. “To save American democracy, Trump must hang,” Professor Lars Maischak appears to have tweeted in February. “The sooner and the higher,...

Rowling’s views of the U.S. president. And she’s fighting back on Twitter, insulting those very fans.
