"ESPN continues to have problems after its employee Jemele Hill unleashed a series of defamatory tweets against President Donald Trump on Monday.
"Ms. Hill accused Trump of being a “white supremacist”, a smear that despite no evidence that would support such an assertion has nonetheless become accepted as holy writ by the left.
"Rather than move quickly to fire or at least discipline Hill, the network allowed the situation to fester to the point that they are essentially being held hostage by their blatantly racist host.
"Now the Reverend Al Sharpton is involved and threatening to lead a boycott against the disgraced network if Hill is held accountable.
"Sharpton is a seasoned race-baiter with a media presence as well as a history of leeching onto figures of dubious character to bolster his street cred as a civil rights crusader.
"Add Jemele Hill to that list." . . .
ESPN Head To Staff: ‘ESPN Is Not A Political Organization’ . . . "The White House continued to hammer ESPN on Friday, calling it "hypocritical" for what it deems a double-standard in how the network handles conservative and liberal employees.
"White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said during the daily briefing that ESPN once suspended longtime anchor Linda Cohn while distancing itself but not firing Hill this week." . . .
