You still don't give credit for the bump on the intial leak. Even though most analyst do. Wrong topic. But I don't know why I'm debating a topic with someone who doesn't work in the field. A short term emotional bump is just that. Analyst and Wall Street are still waiting on long plays for actual passing of legislation.

I don't know what analysts you follow. Most of the people I saw on CNBC and those that I read attributed last Monday and Tuesday's run up in the market primarily to the French election results on Sunday. Wouldn't you have expected some bump since the details of the tax plan were released? Never mind. No sense in me asking you that question. I am more than happy to give Trump credit where he deserves it and have done so. But he doesn't get credit for everything good that happens and no blame when anything goes in the wrong direction for him.

 

Sorry everyone for interrupting the thread. This is a running discussion between LB and I. I will leave it there for my side and let this thread get back on track.

CNBC are talking heads with agendas. No one who works in the trenches takes the French election as a serious reason.

Myopic.

Just so everyone knows. Ryen Russillo is still at ESPN. It was just Danny Kannell who was let go.

Werder said that ESPN laid him off and then asked him to cover the draft. He declined.

I think those on the left who act like the opinion slant has no bearing are silly and those on the right who think it is the main cause are also silly.

 

I'll be silly then, because IMO whatever slant some people see at ESPN has had little to no impact on these separations. Insinuating that is pure opinion.

‘They Forgot Their Core’: ESPN’s Linda Cohn Says ESPN’s Politics Are Hurting Business | Mediaite

 

From the article;

 

But WABC host Sid Rosenberg mentioned several progressive political causes that either some ESPN hosts or the network at large have championed of late (including Colin Kaepernick‘s National Anthem protests and Caitlyn Jenner being given the Arthur Ashe Courage Award), and said to Cohn: “There seems to be a lot of folks that have a distaste for the way ESPN goes about some of their programming and some of their promotions when socially folks don’t accept these things.”

“You’re right,” Cohn said. “That is definitely a percentage of it. I don’t know how big a percentage, but if anyone wants to ignore that fact, they’re blind.”

 

Bingo. This is what many of us have been saying in this thread. It's not the primary source of ESPN's problems, but it is an underlying issue with a LOT of subscribers and it's just one more straw on that camels back thats already overloaded and ready to break.

I know some of the NBA guys are working through the draft and then hitting the road. Wonder if that is how they offered it to Werder and he said, "no thanks."

Werder said that ESPN laid him off and then asked him to cover the draft. He declined.

 

WOW! I wonder who they sent to ask him that? Probably some lackey. Would have loved to have been a fly on the wall and heard that conversation. That's some nerve right there.

With regards to ESPN going "liberal" with their coverage...

 

Up until 4-5 years ago, ESPN did its best to distance itself from politics or taking on social issues. With the advent of social media, many of those they cover have "taken on" these causes through actions, but primarily through social media. I think they caved into the pressure and decided for commentary to be expanded to cover these issues because it became part of the culture. Naturally, like most media outlets, those in it lean left so it comes with that side of a slant.

 

I think this shift has contributed to some of ESPN's demise, but not much of it. If you are into the politic thing and are not pro some of these issues, ESPN does not fully provide that escape it used to provide.

I've read that a few places. Embarrassing.

How many people do you know canceled their cable or satellite service because ESPN slants left?
