. . . does teh stupid never stop?
On yesterday’s edition of The Janet Mefferd Show, the host and her guest, Matt Philbin of the Media Research Center, took aim at an unlikely vector of liberal ideals: the world of sports. Reflecting on an MRC report, Mefferd said that ESPN and other sports broadcasters are “using their sports platforms really to push this liberal economic and social ideology.” Philbin asserted ESPN hires people with a “liberal pedigree” and its website includes content that is in “support of the gay agenda.”
. . .
Philbin later maintained that sports journalists, like other journalists, have “an antipathy toward conservatives and toward traditional Americans.” The two also took umbrage in particular to the sports network’s supposedly cozy relationship with President Obama: Mefferd was dismayed that ESPN is helping the President “show his softer side” by broadcasting his NCAA bracket selection.
Of course, President Bush, a former baseball franchise owner, previously appeared on ESPN to talk fishing and baseball.
Best part: ESPN’s antipathy toward traditional Americans. I guess then that that’s their business model which explains why they’re such a failure.
Let us recall that the Media Research Center is considered a true source of the Lord’s truth by the conservative-entertainment complex, who repeat its findings ad nauseam.

Can you say “Get a Life”?
But this is more fun Elyse and they get on radio and the teevee this way.
Sadly, this nonsense talk is going to go on for the next four years, because they won’t admit that their man lost the election.
Also Don, they have one odd view of who Americans are
Odd is putting it mildly…
I too am personally outraged by the massive number of gay-friendly pinko sportscasters inhabiting the mainstream media. Thank you, Janet Mefferd, whoever you are.
ESPN promotes a liberal pedigree and a gay agenda? Hell, I might actually start watching them.
What happened to Just Plain Sports?
In the right wing paranoid media watch, nothing is ‘just plain’ anything!
