Why hate on investigative journalism?




I take it you have no idea what those two terms even mean then...

"investigative journalism" does not include a butthurt former employee who comes to rat out his former school

All they had to do was press play on the DVD and let their "reporters" do the rest

Investigative Journalism is far from what ESPN does. They have ventured into the realm of sensationalism. This was first reported in November when Rice was suspended and fined and Pernitti was open about it. However ESPN was in the middle of their CFB season and did not have time for it.

But once the nation had its eyes on the tourney specifically after the Ware injury what a great time to really open up a story.

Investigative journalism is a form of journalism in which reporters deeply investigate a single topic of interest, often involving crime, political corruption, or corporate wrongdoing. An investigative journalist may spend months or years researching and preparing a report. Investigative journalism is a primary source of information.[1][2][3][4] Most investigative journalism is conducted by newspapers, wire services, and freelance journalists. Practitioners sometimes use the terms "watchdog journalism" or "accountability reporting."


Seems fitting. Might not have been a "60 Minute hit piece " that spanned years but I dont see where the term is off?

Did they sit on the story? Did they have the tape in december? Lets start with what we know to be true instead of hearsay, conjecture and opinion.
