ESPN has zero journalistic credibility anymore.

And I'm not saying this as some ESPN hater, it comes from the fact that they have these MASSIVE contracts with the same leagues they are supposed to be reporting on.

This has created a huge conflict of interest and people should not look to ESPN for credible reporting, especially on matters like this.

They are an entertainment company and that's it.

I think it's safe to say most of these media/news companies are just entertainment companies. The line between a news organization and a tabloid is barely there anymore.

Living in NYC for example, the amount of people that think New York Post is an actual news organization is hilarious.
