As a big Packers fan, I decided to ask the Packer's resident journalist/blogger, Vic Ketchman (who has been covering sports for 5 decades) about this mess. Here is the question and response:
Bennett from Atlanta, GA
Vic, you've noted how the current state of media technology has provided some real positives for journalists but also has provided new mediums for irresponsible and knee-jerk reporting. I would like your opinion on ESPN's coverage of the Syracuse basketball allegations. I know it's not football-related, but it seems to be a good time to bring up the topic, considering Jason Whitlock has called for Mark Schwartz's firing for unethical journalism. I don't know much about Jason Whitlock, so I'd like to hear from an established vet like yourself.
When I heard the story last Friday night, I figured ESPN had it nailed down. I’m waiting to see the nails.
