Is ESPN Coming Around to Embracing Impact of Blogs?

ESPN not only centered the premise for a recent piece on TheDirty's photos in referencing Matt Leinart's perceived partying ways, but showed the very pictures that were published on the site - the very kind of low-brow "journalism" Bissinger and his colleagues decry. Yet, they have no qualms splashing the pictures on their worldwide flagship program.

It's definitely progress, they showed the Sports Hernia on SportsCenter last week, so maybe this will be happening more frequently.

Bissinger = Hypocrite. I know because I looked it up in the dictionary and his face was right there.

I totally agree with you, they are copy-catting what is displayed on the net for ratings, and then they went back and interviewed Matt and his coach about what they thought about it...Actually the media made it worse when they started putting the pics on TV I think.

thats the thing that gets me - they talk about posting these pictures online being out of line, but have no qualms splashing them on tv.
