(Reporting by Elaine Lies; Editing by Edwina Gibbs) Stocks Asian Markets Global Markets lcd soundsytem . Had people been more willing to ask questions and educate themselves, they would have been more skeptical of predatorylenders.  That though does not absolve the Wall Street businesses that spent and invested beyond their means, and thus aggressively pursued naive customers.Anyone who follows my articles would know that I don’t back down from what I believe, and that I detest corporate news in all forms: MSNBC, FOX News, CNN, E!, ESPN.They’re all the same to me, and the fact is that, the jobs are transmutable. Reporters from ESPN have left for employment with networks like MSNBC to cover subjects unrelated to sports, such as Keith Olberman.  In another case, a reporter of entertainment gossip at Inside Edition would leave for employment with FOX News’ Bill O’Reilly.Why are those jobs transmutable?  They all have the same goal and same criteria for news lcd sound system . That goal is to submit to the corporate line and propagate whatever makes money, even if unethical; and whatever makes money is what entertains the viewer (consumer).Thus, there is fault by all involved.  This point has historical examples as well. Those Who Don’t Know History or the ContemporaryWhen Christians were thrown to lions as sports entertainment in the Roman Coliseum, the audience was just as guilty for being entertained by the event.  That fact applies to many groups, not just Christians.  In that, people have been dehumanizedthroughout history for the entertainment of others, even if the event is inherently hypocritical.Meaning that, at one time, it was okay to throw people to lions as bait, even though it was against the law to commit murder.I do believe that in a responsible society, the people should be allowed and committed to entertainment that inspires, questions, or investigates.  I don’t believe that everyone should adhere to what I see as virtuous.  However, I do believe that when examined, you will see that the evidence shows a glaring problem that must be addressed.The problem being that, when a nation is entertained or fascinated by the incendiary rather than the inquisitive, that will create predatory reporting that is only interested in money and protecting reputation when you’ve flirted with negligence, malice, and simple self-interest.That problem has manifested itself in various ways.  From reality TV “stars,” reckless celebrities, murderers, child abusers, and other nonsense that only serves as a distraction from the problems that affect the stability of a person’s life, such as the economy. What Else Is On?We have seen that today, for too long, people turned away from “boring” news and watched the news that entertained rather than educated.  I do believe it is that intellectual laziness on the part of the average person that has contributed to national problems, such as the economic meltdown.In a contemporary example, it was the average baseball fan that looked away from the stories about the problems with steroids in baseball in 1998.  Those stories had no entertainment value, thus left without investigation.  I don’t believe however, that the sports media can wash their hands of fault, simply because viewers didn’t want to hear things that questioned the illusion.Ultimately, the problem grew up to be an elephant in the room that it was dumped on Congress to investigate in 2005, because the interests of greed had prevented the conduction of investigations into steroids at an earlier time.  In doing so, the steroids problem wasted massive amounts of time and money of the public and the officials who seek to advocate the public interests.  Had the direction of public inquiries sought to address other problems, in the real estate market for example, I do believe that the economic mess would, if nothing else, have been less severe. I should note that signs of trouble in the real estate market had appeared in 2005, but the national agenda had been set to address a monolithic problem in baseball that had gone unresolved by the MLB because of greed.  Like Wall Street, everyone was getting rich from juicing (including ESPN) and no one wanted to stop, until the public started to wonder if those homeruns were actually foul.In another contemporary example, the sports media (ESPN) did not investigate the veracity of accusations against NFL player Pacman Jones ldc soundsystem . Instead, they reported every scandalous accusation against the troubled player to the point where it only annoyed viewers, and in effect left him out to dry for malicious fans and a Commissioner that just wanted the issue to go away to protect the bottom line.Had ESPN truly investigated, I guarantee the issue would have gone away without Commissioner interference.Yet, the same organization, ESPN, refused to report civil charges of rape against Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger, because it had the potential to damage his reputation.  Yet, ESPN jumped all over the charges of rape against Kobe Bryant.I suspect a number of reasons: Corporate greed, entertainment value, and simple incompetence by the employees that seem content with their M.O. of mediocrity and obnoxiousness. Make It GlobalThe best example of a grossly incompetent hack has been Jay Mariotti of Around the Horn .  Mariotti epitomizes a divisive and malcontent person who seeks only to flatter hisvictim-hood with delusions, so that he feels no remorse about being a disruptive and selfish freeloader.Case in point, Mariotti left the Chicago Sun-Times for AOL Sports after the newspaper financed his business trip to the Beijing Olympics in 2008 .  He went on this trip while considering the offer from AOL Sports.  After the trip, Mariotti turned around and publicly derided the Times and employees, because of imminent financial issues for the paper.Mariotti’s colleague, Pulitzer Prize-winning critic Roger Ebert, even decided to publish an article entitled, “Jay the Rat,” because of Mariotti’s reputation for being a disruptive influence in the working environment.Before I continue, I don’t believe that Mariotti is alone in his behavior, and I do believe that the mainstream media is filled with the same selfish freeloaders that contribute nothing to society after insinuating themselves into places they don’t belong.Make it global as it is said.  It is not a problem with one employee, but all employees.I believe that because ESPN attempts to claim to inform and entertain, when evidence contradicts that assertion.The most glaring example of such is the video in which ESPN employees deride and mock a distraught Clemson Tigers fan.  Ergo, ESPN does not entertain, and as you will see from the following, ESPN does not inform either.  They merely propagate in order to undermine their opponents and advocate their agenda, which does not include consistency in reporting facts.Mariotti is the same “rat” that would publish a blog in which he angrily stated that Raiders coach Tom Cable should be “suspended,” for allegations of assault, and that Al Davis should, “vanish,” because with the Raiders, Mariotti puts his integrity aside and reports gossip without investigation.  Read the article.  There is no subtlety about his malice.Mariotti also wrote so by angrily portraying Davis and Raider fans as malicious enemies of the sports media, which would include ESPN.Mariotti rooted for violence and discord within the Raiders organization, even called the legendary franchise a, “God-awful franchise.”  In addition to that, Mariotti would wax empathetic with Roger Goodell for having “cleansed” the NFL of, “thuggery.”I state that because it showed a clear bias against the antics of some NFL players, and would suggest that Mariotti simply neglected his job to, “trust but verify” andassiduously pursue inquiries into incendiary accusations, against players such as Pacman Jones.I say that with some reserve, because part of Mariotti’s job is to promote the scandalous, rather than facts, because the scandalous is what generally entertains.  However, it is clear Mariotti simply took glee in feeling that he could exercise his malice and not have issues with his employer, because he merely gives ESPN what they want: scandal, not facts.Thus, Mariotti does not make virtue from necessity.  Mob Power Undermines Legal AuthoritySome readers may believe that I beat a dead horse, but as I will reveal, these issues are in the interest of all sports fans, and in effect, our society and our public discourse.  For one, ESPN and people like Mariotti, are cancerous to the public discourse, and that problem diffuses into other forums of society. The fact of the matter was that the Napa County District Attorney deferred from prosecution against Cable, due to insufficient evidence and the fact that the accuser, Randy Hanson, sought the media (Yahoo Sports) before he sought the police with his incendiary accusations that Cable had threatened his life.Why would Hanson seek the media first?  Because we’ve seen in an era of reality-TV a dramatic increase in media seeking charlatans of drama, with a recent example being the “Balloon Boy,” and of course, the reality-TV peons that profit from irrational behavior and conflict exacerbation. As it turned out, Hanson fell over in his chair after leaning back and putting his feet on the desk.This is the same sports media that allowed Rodney Harrison to broadcast his suggestion that people associated with the Raiders should commit suicide, which would include staff, players, and fans.Now with egg on their face, ESPN is transparently trying to create clamor for the suspension of Cable, after multiple employees of ESPN have called for said action, including Mariotti and Bill Plaschke of the same show.Thus, people like Mariotti would like for the public to disregard legal authority and instead act impulsively, because as we know, customers are more profitable when they are impulsive.ESPN is doing so by perpetuating a he-said/she-said situation with accusations of assault by Cable against two ex-wives and a former girlfriend. As FOX News reports “people are saying,” which really means, FOX Commentators are saying, ESPN is trying to bait viewers into believing their bunk with vague allusions to the presence of fact, and instead rely on the incendiary claims by accusers.In one such instance, ESPN has claimed the existence of “documentation,” and yet has not revealed what that “documentation” is, and whether it was present in each case. Twenty years ago, police investigated an incident by Cable in which he slapped his then wife in anger, because of an adulterous affair.  Cable has stated that has been the only incident, and that he has deeply regretted it ever since.Thus, for the ex-wife to now say that she was not having an affair and that Cable “punched” her,reeks of bunk.  Why is that?  Because a slap would leave a different wound than a punch, which is something that police would have investigated in such instance.And regardless of questions about wounds, the police deferred from investigation. Dangerous InsinuationsThus, the ex-wife is now insinuating impropriety against the involved officers, as ESPN has suggested incompetence by the Napa County DA, such as Tony Kornheiser’s suggestion that witnesses may have been intimidated in the Hanson case.  Had that been remotely likely, the DA would have investigated.As we know, ESPN does not rely on facts or reason, but merely promote nonsense scandal; scandals that can be detrimental to an individual person (Pacman Jones), or society at large (steroids via Congressional investigation, time, and taxpayer money).  But at the same time, will make exceptions for the people they like, such as Ben Roethlisberger.Thus, ESPN has shown itself to be indubitably hypocritical, and expect viewers to believe that they actually care about the women whom accused Cable.  Had ESPN truly been interested in the claims of female victims, they would have reported the chargers of rape by Roethlisberger.ESPN is also the network that dotes over Tom Brady, whom ditched the mother of his son at the first chance he had. ESPN does not care, as evidence of hypocrisy has proven.  You can’t claim to care wheninconsistency is clear, and the only consistencies are malice and greed.Say what you will about me, but I have taken the burden of a clearly unjust and hostile working environment, when I took the initiative to report sexual assault by an assistant at my former job, and against a woman that I later learned was pregnant.After which, the superior to the assistant targeted me by taking the word of liars as proof against me.  One of whom, would eventually break expensive equipment, and yet escape immediate termination.  The other person would be promoted shortly after his claim.So yes, I do have an interest in advocating the truth rather than hysteria that is fed to impulsive minds, because I’ve been there.  I knew what I was getting into, and I knew that I would be fighting an un-winnable battle.  But I knew that it was right.Moreover, you can say what you will about the Al Davis since 2003, but there is one thing that Davis has long been committed to, and that’s, equal opportunity employment and a relatively egalitarianenvironment.Davis is the first and only owner to hire a woman, Amy Trask, as CEO of an NFL franchise amongst other firsts in hiring. Thus, are we expected to believe that Trask and Davis did not know of these accusations against Cable?  I would think they would have known if there had been substantial documentation.  Alternatively, are we expected to believe that Trask and Davis would have hired Cable, had the accusations been true or even remotely substantial?I don’t think so. The East Coast Bias Is RealI do think however think that ESPN is clearly pursuing an “East Coast Bias,” as Kornheiser has admitted to having (again, make it global).  That would insinuate that ESPN has undermined any team that does not fit the vision of the “East Coast Bias,” with a few exceptions, and would include many teams; not just the punching bag known as Davis and the Raiders.It is the duty of real journalists to ask thequestions that challenge the popular conceptions, and fearlessly pursue inquiries without regard to whether their hypothesis is true or false, so long as it is in the interest of healthy discourse.Sports organizations are social institutions.  MLB Commissioner Bud Selig admitted as much about the MLB at the 2009 All-Star game.  The US Supreme Court even determined that the MLB is “not a business” and merely an organization that coordinates community exhibitions, and thus exempt from laws of anti-trust.The NFL, NBA, and NHL all want the same exemption.  Therefore, those organizations must be organizers of community exhibitions as the precedent determined.Therefore, those organizations must beresponsible to society, not the bottom line, rather than foot the taxpayers with the bill everything their incompetence and greed creates a monolithic problem. Nevertheless, outlets like ESPN are nothing more than puppets of the MLB and NFL most particularly, because of anti-trust exemptions.  The MLB’s exemption is across the board, while the NFL’s exemption is merely for media-rights, which means that the NFL could pull the plug on ESPN’s coverage of the NFL for any reason.  Publicly Funded Sports NewsThus, ESPN is inherently incapable of objectivity, because they must protect their bottom line by protecting the NFL and MLB, regardless of whether it wrongfully destroys careers, or ultimately wastes valuable public time and money.How then would we solve such problem?Myrecommendation is that that Congress should either revoke ESPN’s license to broadcast, or to provide a “public option” of sports news, on apublicly funded station by the fans and for the fans, rather than is some puppet riddled with greed and scandal; an organization that pursues facts, even the inconvenient facts.Thus, a system of checks and balances for these socialinstitutions that beg for the public to bankroll their mishaps, and repay the public with virtually nothing except the belief that there’s nowhere else to go.That is the epitome of monopoly.It also does seem reasonable to expect such reform, when President Obama has openly stated his interest in reforming unfair systems in sports, such as the BCS. You should realize that the underlying problem to that and other problems in sports is the corporate media.  They create the ridiculouslogic of the BCS, because the sports media has a vested interest in promoting and protecting the teams with the most fans, and in effect, the audience for their station.Just ask writer Gregg Doyel of Sportsline .  He stated that he was putting his job on the line by calling the SEC overrated, because his employer, CBS, is the broadcaster of the SEC.Say what you will about the politics of President Obama, but I do believe that any objective sports fan can agree to the inherent problems with the current system of sports media.Before you get up in arms about apublicly funded sports network, consider the fact that public money finances manystadiums across the nation, while the owners gouge impulsive fans after those same people paid to build the stadium.Taxpayers have the right to know what is done with their money, and to hold the owners accountable, but when the sports media has a clear conflict of interest, there is no reason to believe in the veracity oftheir reports.Thus, apublicly funded sports network is the logical solution to the intentions of President Obama by creating a permanent arm to investigate themalfeasance of sports organizations; organizations that have repeatedly used valuable public time and money to solve their problems. Sports as SocialInstitutions/I Don’t Hate Money or CapitalismI don’t hate money or the rich, as some might believe. I expect that when people take public money, that there are greatresponsibilities associated with that money.  Instead however,vacuous people allow “panhandlers” to runamok with public money and dump any onus of personal accountability onto the public.Talk about a double-threat.Some fans though have argued that sports are just a game, and that athletes should not be expected to be positive examples for a constructive member of society.Bunk.Those athletesimplicitly agree to as much when they take millions of dollars from fans through owners. Fans expect athletes to inspire in some way which includes championships.

It is why fans will tolerate the fat paychecks doled out to many players, including some that did not deserve it.If not for positive examples of what a person could be in society, baseball and football would still be segregated.  The Nazi’s would have dominated the 1936 Summer Olympics.  Women would still resolve to not pursuing sports.Thus, to recant on that implicit agreement is merely theft.I do believe that true sports writers pursued sports writing because of the said transcendent advents of social change thorough sports.  Yet, they soon realize that sports media is not aboutadvocating change and inspiration through sports, but merely to pad the bottom line.At which point, those writers resolve to being sedentary and indulgent, rather than being active and informed, because in their delusion they will believe that what they do is still better than what some schmo fan does LCD Soundsystem – lcdsoundsystem .Sports are meant to inspire the youth in particular, but everyone to some degree, rather than intimidate the youth with unrealistic images of success.  Steroid junkies for instance create a false perception of what a person must be to succeed.Instead, the average sports fan watches sports not to be inspired, but as catharsis for their feelings of failure.  That they have not achieved some phantom perception of success and perfection, and thus resolve to being sedentary and indulgent, rather than being active and informed LCD Soundsystem concert tickets – myspace .Fans and sports writers then, are merely nothing more than natural foils to each other in a system bound by willful ignorance, malice, and greed.We have independence of thought, while paid media have greater access to a network of sources and information; an access hindered by the need to propagate the impulsive behavior of customers that is conducive to greed, while fans are left with nothing more than the knowledge that they’ve been screwed but not the proof. Thus, I suggest to any reader interested in the cause of apublicly funded sports network to contact your Senators in Washington immediately.  It is not difficult to do.  Merely search your current state on Wikipedia , and the names of your Senators will be in the right-hand column.Once you have the names, Google the Web page for either Senator and email your support and even your own stories and ideas.I hope that you see that while I have my reasons for what I do, I try to mold them to the greater good.
