No Surprise: ES(JW)PN Suspends Host Linda Cohn For Noting, Correctly, That ES(JW)PN Has Alienated Its Core Audience With Its Politics, While Meanwhile Giving a SJW Host a Pass For Calling Trump's Administration "Largely White Supremacist"
"They [ESPN] definitely overpaid for many of these products, whether it's the NBA or starting up networks like the Pac-12 Network and SEC Network,” she said on WABC's "Bernie and Sid Show." "It's well documented … They [also] did not see that they would lose all these subscribers [to competitors like Netflix.] But it was more than just that. Politics played a part, as did the network's move away from strictly covering sports. I felt that the old school viewers were put in a corner and not appreciated with all these other changes. And they forgot their core. You can never forget your core and be grateful for your core group."Yeah, I do get why ES(JW)PN would be angry at that: Corporations don't like criticism, especially from an employee, and especially, especially when it's dead-on absolutely true and the corporation as a whole is frantically attempting to peddle a corporate lie that it's not true. Clay Travis reports -- being tipped off by one of his insiders who are sick to death of ES(JW)PN's leftwing shenanigans:
According to multiple sources inside ESPN — Cohn declined comment when reached by Outkick — ESPN president John Skipper called Cohn and screamed at her for having the gall to share her opinion in public and told her to stay at home instead of coming to work that weekend. Why was Cohn to stay at home? So, according to an irate John Skipper, she could have time to think about what she had said.He was tipped off by insiders after another ES(JW)PN host claimed that Trump's administration was "largely... white supremacist," and also claimed that white supremacists put him into office:
Trump is the most ignorant, offensive president of my lifetime. His rise is a direct result of white supremacy. Period.

She's also a perfect example of the real reason ESPN’s original programming is sucking wind: she's a really lousy television host, having nothing to do with her politics. The SC6 branded show is not a good one, in part because you have two co-hosts who both are more serious and overly sincere than they are charismatic or quick with the snark. You don’t have the classic goofy/straight pairing, and they lack the tension of two co-hosts who disagree constantly. Neither is a particularly good interviewer, nor have they shown the ability to offer insight on sports that is deep, funny, or entertaining. The show is reduced to two fairly boring people sitting at a cramped table full of papers and laptops on a set that looks unchanged for the past twenty years talking about sports with less insight than a pair at the end of the neighborhood bar. Television is a visual medium, and visually, SC6 looks like local TV.Meanwhile, one wonders when ES(JW)PN will get around to doing a 12 part story on this important Social Justice Warrior Gender Studies story: Sports are centered around "hegemonic masculinity's" emphasis on winning contests, and that's bad, because if women ran the world there would be no wars or whatever.

ESPN’s transformation is usually described as swapping a highlight for a debate segment. But the changes are even more elemental than that. At the SC6 staff meeting, everyone had their heads buried in their social media feeds, looking for content for the show. "I’m a hawk on TweetDeck," said Jeremy Lundblad, one of SC6’s producers. Twitter is now the de facto coordinating producer of ESPN's daytime lineup. The network’s old currency was a highlight of Klay Thompson shooting a 3. The new currency-- and, indeed, that day's top offering-- was a video of Thompson dancing like a dork in a Chinese nightclub. Programming ESPN is like curating your Twitter feed: find the content that everyone’s talking about and craft the right joke.The Doctrine of "No-Escapism:" eSJWpn is owned by Disney-- as is Marvel. And both are going into the tank as they alienate more and more of their former audience with hardcore SJW propaganda. Diversity and Comics came up with the term "No Escapism" to describe this. Escapism -- which sports and comic books used to be -- was a nice, psychologically healthy escape from the conflicts of the real world. But ESPN and Marvel have decided you will not be permitted any escapism. Instead, you will only have No-Escapism -- when you tune to ESPN or buy a Captain America comic, you will be subjected to constant strident political propaganda. You will be permitted no peace, and allowed no escape from Big Brother's constant propaganda messaging:

I was going to link that. Keep in mind, both Marvel and ESPN are owned by Disney. This is a Disney corporate decision.
He has a good video on the idea of "No Escapism:" Disney is making sure that you cannot have escapist entertainment. All escapist entertainment comes with political propaganda at all times. Thus, it's not escapism; it's been remade into No-Escapism -- you shall not be allowed a moment's peace at any Disney-owned outlet.

Unpossible. EVERY cable company pays a fee to ESPN based on number of TOTAL subscribers. You then pay a fee on top of that to get ESPN.
If the total shitwads in our goverment gave two fucks about consumers they'd put an end to this rape.

In grad school I played tennis with a girlfriend who used to get pissed because I kept hitting bullets within a foot of the baseline. (I'm actually not bad at tennis, or wasn't at one time, at any rate, and used to play a housemate who'd been on UCLA's tennis team.) She seemed to think the idea was for me to hit her racket with the ball.
With another girlfriend I played racquetball, which was also a bloodbath if I played normally. This one used to get pissed when I went easy on her, which she took to be patronizing.
Then I had an idea, and played her right-handed. (I'm left-handed.) That made it considerably closer, and I didn't have play pat-a-cake.

Womyns can have penises too, h8rs!
They need to just say screw it and have a special tranny class in sports, you know like how Thailand has real girl vs ladyboy beauty pageants and crap.
Male, female, other. In the Tranny category, for example, they could have things like baton twirling and pole vaulting. Thailand would likely take the gold most of the time.

Cutting the cord isn't a BetaMax vs VCR thing. Maybe it is slightly in the sense they are both thoroughly outdated technologies. As is cable television itself. As is the model that ESPN uses to extort money from anyone with cable.

I don't need to be insulted by idiots. Once it stopped being entertainment And FUN, it was not worth it. I can hear people dumber than dirt by just turning on CNN for free.
I don't need to hear it from some "host" who got his ass kicked all through high school and somehow sucked enough dick to get a job on the New Women's Menustration Network.

It's not the Mensa club. Nobody cares what you have to say or what your opinion is. Shut the fuck up and play the game or talk about it. Assholes.

"We've done a great job of diversity," said longtime ESPN anchor Bob Ley. "But the one place we have miles to go is diversity of thought."
Many ESPN employees I talked to -- including liberals and conservatives, most of whom preferred to speak on background -- worry that the company's politics have become a little too obvious, empowering those who feel as if they're in line with the company's position and driving underground those who don't.

But with all the racial division, maybe having a group not afraid to mention their white heritage is not so bad. It is not the same as "supremacist" though, which is what a lot of the other racial/ethnic/religious groups are.
In any case ... the left had the playbook out and all the MFM was ready for the Antifa saviors to bash the "white supremacists" ... so now all the anti-slavery Robert E Lee statues and schools must be smashed and/or burned. Trump was probably right, there were a lot of good people at the rally to support the monument ... that is not support for white supremacy AT ALL.

Twitter is highly Balkanized. Lefties and righties will pester the obvious targets on the other side, but for the most part the left follows the left and blocks the right. The right follows the right and blocks the left.
This actually explains how ESPN could be oblivious to how it's slanting its coverage. If they're just covering what "everyone" is talking about, but forget that "everyone" only includes people on the left on Twitter, then their coverage is as slanted as a matter of course.
They might even be fooling themselves by thinking they're escaping their personal circle bubble, but in fact they're reinforcing it.
Posted by: bonhomme at September 13, 2017 03:00 PM (jhqr1)
but I guess denying reality is what they wanted broke.
so here we are.
That they all use the term equally or fair.
never equal or real or fair wins this.
except for the jerks. I'm sure glad they made sure Men even White men might beat the girl up?

It wouldn't make much difference. The vast majority have never been charged, much less convicted of a felony --- which doesn't necessarily mean that they haven't committed one, of course.
But what would happen is that they would be even less likely to be charged than they are now.

Apparently he was also uploading massive amounts of information to Dropbox, which is a prohibited service.

Best part: refusal based on protecting "integrity of Special Counsel's investigation". Hilarious!
The "integrity" of a special counsel's investigation, which was unlawfully set up outside the scope of the relevant statute as there was no evidence of any criminal act, and which simply retraced the ground of fruitless and obviously pointless counter-intelligence investigations, and is reduced to "investigating" the private financial matters of private citizens from a decade ago, is a barrier to investigating KNOWN lawlessness, obstruction of justice, and more at the highest levels of government.

(However, the Bears are actually looking mildly interesting this year)
Anyway, I still think football is the greatest sport ever created. I played youth and high school and now help coach my son's youth team of 6th graders. I look forward to every practice.
But it is different today. The snowflake to football player ratio is about 80 to 10. Full speed drills almost look half speed much of the time, with more dancing than hitting. If you ride them hard enough (in the right way) they actually start showing some aggression and drive and you see a few minutes of old school football here or there. Slowly but surely we are making them into boys who could someday be men.

Marvel movie franchise has occasional bouts of sanity. I think it was in the first Avengers movie, Cap is whining about modern day ills, mentions global warming. Some sane person cut that from the film, though is in the DVD extras and though crazy SJW Whedon directed. But still, cut it was.
And they could have hired the OTT BLM SJW director lady for Black Panther, who no doubt would have done what they did to the horrible Coates written BP comic. Wisely they parted ways over "creative differences" and got a different black director.
So, not full Borg yet. But I keep waiting for the day Marvel films stop caring about middle America, fires whomever at Marvel is still sane, and lets the whole SJW shoe drop. I give it 5 years tops.

Oh, I always LOVE that stupid argument, because it's irrelevant on it's face, because we don't use popular vote to elect Presidents. And if we did, the campaigns would have been totally different, as well as the vote totals. No way to predict how the result would have actually turned out.
It's like saying that the Giants REALLY won, because they scored three times when the Cowboys only scored twice. The fact that the Giants made three field goals while the Cowboys were all about the touchdowns is just Teh Patriarchy cheating again.
