No, He is right on. I am not so sure that a sportscaster should be held to the same journalistic integrity as a news reporter.

After all an incorrect sports report does/should not equate to a loss of sleep. If in fact it does, priorities may be out of whack.


A simple correction is all that is needed.

Those that called Miles a liar, well, they are no different from the girls on the View, just trying to keep viewers tuned in, just opinions, nothing more.

Wrong. I usually defend the media, but in this case...well Kirk violated one of the CARDINAL RULES of journalism...and sports reporters ARE journalists, and must be held to the same standards as the hard news guys...which is VERIFIY YOUR INFORMATION BEFORE you run with it.

Did the producer pressure him into going with the story...perhaps, but that is no excuse. Should he be fired? NO. Should he AND THE PRODUCER apologize...well that would be the classy thing to do. Same for commentators who attacked Miles wrongly.
