re: Whitlock: How a Gawker-Affiliated Website Made ESPN Politically Correct

ESPN is a live sports network. That's where their money is. The rest of their content is filler. The most popular shows barely scratch 500k daily viewers.
So while their move away from sports in their content may have an impact, it is very small.
Their biggest issue is people who never cared about live sports have found ways to get the programming they want without cable. Their business model has always been predicated by making millions off people who don't care about sports. The business model is falling apart.
The liberal slant is a fun talking point, but not their big issue.

Actually, ESPN became the giant it is based on the complete opposite, they reported on the sports, discussed the sports, and showed end to end highlights on sports...it can be argued that their slight downturn started when they wanted to start gobbling up Live broadcast rights...remember before when the only live sporting events they'd broadcast were lumberjack games, world's strongest man, and watching how far dogs could dive off piers.
