Iger can either take the progressive politics out of ESPN and please his stockholders, or he can continue to use ESPN to please the Democratic base and help him win the nomination, but he likely can’t do both.

whose going to be around to do THAT story? hmmm?
The model for where the mainstream media is going is quite clear to everyone who cares to look. Think back in history to the UNRESTRAINED POWER wielded by the holy Catholic church when it didn’t just HAVE all the books, it also WROTE / transcribed all the books. Then Gutenberg invented his printing press around 1440, just in time to spread mankind’s insatiable appetite for independent / unfiltered discovery for the next 300+ years. Power devolved from the church to those who owned large printing operations and “bought ink by the 50 gallon barrel.” Then after WW2 the print media’s power to make or break people / ideas / opinions / beliefs got shared with the owners of broadcast media.
Today all that ‘power’ formerly concentrated in few hands is being devolved RAPIDLY into the hands of anybody with an internet connection who wants to take some of that power and run with it. Fifty-gallon barrels of ink and costly, government-licensed 500 foot broadcast antennas have been replaced by free pixels. The result is WE no longer need THEM, but THEY still haven’t figured that out yet!
NHL Network does way better banter and highlights than I can remember from when I used to watch ESPN, except maybe back in the ’90s, when they were pretty good.
NFL Network does football exceedingly well.
Those are my sports, I think I started drifting away when they decided I should care about soccer, just too many sports to do well, and the time when they said that a regular season baseball game was bigger news than an NHL playoff game, but the politics made me stop going there completely.

Err .. hmmm … the former, and soon to become former, ESPN viewers have made their choice. But, by all means try to close that gate. It’s only money.
Isn’t it odd, when a fool is betting with other peoples money, they get slightly upset?
