Brit Hume summed up the ESPN/Robert Lee nonsense and the way the mainstream media have been covering them over the past few days (especially CNN). Especially after ESPN released an ‘internal memo’ president John Skipper.
I wonder if anyone noticed how totally the second paragraph contradicts the first. https://t.co/yUz2TMJrux

Psh, reading is so overrated and stuff.
That's the democrat's platform, contradiction.

This may be actual footage from inside ESPN and CNN.
Complaining about having 'fake news' being reported against them? Oh the irony. Why so defensive ESPN? Not cool when it's on the other foot.

ESPN just wants everyone to stop making an issue of what they made an issue of … or something like that.

Derp. Derp everywhere.
The whole thing is ridiculous. In attempting to "spare" him, they've done the opposite.

Yup, they’ve embarrassed him and themselves.
Reminds me of a drunk's statement at a traffic stop

Which could honestly sum up most everything we hear and read from the mainstream media these days.
True dat.
