Sideline reporter gave fake news

[Liut]

I seemed to recall the first time I saw Erin on ESPN, it was covering a Lightning game.

Yeah, if IIRC, she broke in covering the Atlanta Thrashers for Turner SportsSouth, or whatever it was called.

EDIT: looked it up. She actually did start locally with Tampa Bay.

The only thing worse than a journo using a spokesperson is a news organization giving a "no comment" on anything.

a news organization giving a 'no comment' on anything is SOP.

Pickup trucks blowing up? Where can I see this?

Somewhere in the archives of NBC News.

In her defense, maybe she started using one several years ago around the peeping tom case.

Point taken.

Oh, now I remember. Thanks!

May be the cynical me coming out, but her rep's statement read like a complete confession to me.

Years ago, an old stop often reported on major employers cutting jobs regularly.

This while the newspaper was cutting jobs regularly.

The publisher wrote in a piece that the newspaper was under no obligation to report on its job losses because it was a private business. Actually no; it was part of a chain that was traded, admittedly a penny stock by then. What hypocrisy.

Posting this less for Suzy Shuster's reaction to Charissa Thompson and more for the Bobby Bowden and Chuck Amato anecdotes.

She is to journalism what Jimmy Fallon is to comedy.
