So why does CNN report on Ben and Jen? Because they don't like them? They smelled a story that would make a lot of idiots clammer and they went for it. That's what they do. It sells adds. It's one of the reasosns journalism is a degraded profession these days. I know Newsmax would never do anything like that.

Media likes to build people up and then tear them don. They enjoy a rise, and they enjoy a fall. It's all E True Hollywood story, and any angle is as good as any other.

I think, (and I can only speak as a representative librral in lock step with all other liberals here) that 'great white hope' is exactly the sort of mildly stupid, mildly racist crap. If I were running CNN, I'd have... well, I wouldn't have covered either story, until Rush quit. But that's me and my lockstep talking.

El Blanco, is there some indication at this point ESPN forced anything? Cause fatty had a contract. And he just doesn't seem like the 'forced to resign' kind of fella. A quitter, sure. But a forced to resigner? Lets wait and see wht he has to say, and make sure to tell me because the ONLY interest I hve in this story is as a bizarre cultural artifact.
