On Monday's episode of "Pardon the Interruption," ESPN's Kornheiser expressed his unwavering support for the publication amidst Mulkey's accusations of an impending hit piece.

Acknowledging Mulkey's prowess as a coach, Kornheiser delved into the broader issue of press perception in the country.

"And she sees the press as an enemy, which happens a lot in America these days," he remarked.

Despite the tumultuous atmosphere, Kornheiser highlighted the credibility of Washington Post journalist Kent Babb, assuring viewers of the accuracy and integrity of his reporting.
"Kent Babb has a story in the Washington Post, he's a terrific writer and reporter," Kornheiser stated emphatically.

The press, ESPN included, makes a lot of money off of controversial stories, whether they're true or not. That's why people don't trust the press. When there's a financial incentive to publish juicy stories, regardless of truth, why would you immediately trust anything the press publishes?

It wasn't always that way, but the press doesn't have much more integrity than the National Enquirer at this point
