I'm with you- The only balance that I have seen on ESPN was by the lawyer on outside the lines who cited the Duke lax scandal, but even he hedged a bit.
 
I'm kinda of disappointed there are not more calls questioning just the reporting other than Jason Whitlock (and maybe the Post Standard if you read between the lines) .  If you compare the PS stories this am with those from ESPN, the unevenness in reporting is glaring.  The PS stories paint shades of grey whereas everything is black and white with ESPN.  PS notes why they didn't write the story and what has changed.  They also ask unanswered questions regarding the investigation, such as the Syracuse Police's role.  Finally, the PS does not gloss over what were disturbing details on both Fine and Davis's stories (e.g., the lack of coorboration on Davis's part (possibly bad for Davis) and the fact that Davis did get 5K from Fine (possibly bad for Fine)).

When the story broke on Thursday, ESPN had every right to run the allegations with two sources. However, their reporting is completely unbalanced and now is lacking credibility.  None of this says whether Fine is innocent or guilty.  It just says that if you look to ESPN, you can not trust them to run the full story and that is a pretty awful thing to say about any organization trying to report the news.
