Who would have thought that not everything you hear during an interview is worth being reported?
That was the logical fallacy in what the response was yesterday. During an interview that was wide ranging, she chose to include this headline knowing people would talk about it.

Another non-apology. They regret the style, not the content. Also, they don’t apologize for initially defending the report.

Gotta love the journalistic ethics at ESPN. Come on, some homophobic "journalist "thought they’d push their agenda. Well that worked well, didn’t it?
ESPN isn’t regretting covering the topic, though. They’re regretting the manner in which it was covered. Your classic non-apology apology: I’m sorry about how I said something, not that I said it.
I date their decline to when Keith Olbermann was let go the first time. ESPN is like SNL in this respect: their first casts were the best they ever had.
