This isnt a Te'o thread, its a lazy media thread

One of the thing that gets me about the talking heads blasting te'o now or at a minimum mocking him is that these are the same douchebags that were lauding him for his story just months ago.

Two things,
ONE - these talking heads needs to admit they are not journalists. Journalists do research, they confirm their story they don't read a script that other wrote off of a teleprompter.
TWO- IF they did write their own words then they need to admit they've not done their job as sports journalists and they should take this opportunity to remind themselves not to get caught up in the hype of hero worship.

ESPN is the poster child,but not the only perp.
How could these journalist that were writing the story not at least try and get confirmation about the nature of her death. Call the hospital, talk to a Dr about the strange circumstances around her AMAZING recovery from a coma, then suddenly find out she has cancer.

Ive got a Dr. friend from Rice that commented while the story was still about the deaths that her Drs could/should be sued for malpractice by not catching the cancer sooner while she was in the hospital with the coma. He had no idea it was all a fake but he knew enough to know that the story didn't make sense from a medical standpoint.

Some reporter could have asked a Dr. in any major city and would have uncovered flaws in the story
