    Broussard, Goodwill among others are flat out liars who hide behind sources. Will they ever be called out and confronted about their fake news or not?

    They have and will continue to be called out but will just double or triple down like some of our very own fake insiders on this forum like basketaballaholic

    They have been.

    Broussard has been exposed several times and largely is living off his time at ESPN.

    Goodwill had some legitimate connections in Detroit when he covered them. However his connections were players, and those aren't the connections you want if you are going to last long. He doubled down on the CP3 story and was exposed.

    Even guys like Windhorst and Zach Lowe package a lot of their own opinions as facts and have a hard time getting to the truth. Zach Lowe is an outsider to an extent, and Windhorst just doesn't seem to understand the culture of the NBA..... for example his reporting of the players like liking Harden for drawing fouls and his reporting of the JR Smith soup incident.

    This is a widespread problem with Sports Infotainment these days.

    Even a reputable insider like Woj speaks out of both sides of his mouth because ESPN constantly forces him on-air to get to the scoop on potential breaking news. So, Woj now spews more opinions than actual facts.

    There was a time when you had actual journalists doing the reporting for ESPN, but now it's all pundits and fake insiders.

    Apparently fake news is protected by the second amendment.

    What exactly do you hope to gain by "confronting" them?

    They get confronted all time on their radio shows
    It always gets ratings and they always get the last word

    Agreed. So what’s the point? Nothing to gain by helping them out.

    Right. Just curious what the point is. Mostly venting, I guess.

    it also showed how effective these shows are nowadays

    Stephen A Smith makes 10 million dollars a year.

    Thanks to outraged fans calling in so they can get yelled at and then he can get the last word cause it's his show and he never loses due to that

    sponsors and advertisers out the wazoo , axe body spray, Taco Bell etc jump on this

    and the pissed off fans will suddenly want a Doritos taco

    It's equally amazing how in this day and age you don't realize that the Rockets won our only TWO championships when Sir Les ALexander was OWNER

    So this is what happens
    he gets to cherry pick which callers to roast cause they have screeners

    callers never win

    @PlayBall , the media wins, the callers NEVER win
