T.O Bashing What The Media Will Do This Season

I am starting to wonder if the shift in the way sports reporting is done today is due to a conscious decision by ownership to switch to a more entertainment style of reporting.

Or if the shift was made because Americans have gone mad for the shallow and opinionated entertainment style of news instead of hard hitting factual news.

What ever the reason it is painful and upsetting to listen to or read sports news these days. The endless empty speculation about what players will do off the field this coming football season. The repeat efforts by seasoned sports reporters to paint a negative image on certain players. The continuous effort to turn mole hill incidents into mountains because it is more entertaining, leave me with a sense of desperation and sadness because the American public seem to have become content with this type of sports reporting.
