Again there were dozens of other angles / stories to run associated with Giannis signing the super max. Fox News historically has viewed sports, especially the NBA as a way to push its political agenda. Goes back to Laura Ingram telling Bron to “shut up and dribble”, the constant blasting of athletes kneeling. In this case they chose to focus on find negative. A news organization like FNC does not need sports to push “click bait” , they have a different division for that, but they do want to make sure it fits their narrative. All the major news outlets ran stories that day, none about burning jerseys or a sensational headline.Why not? In my opinion, of all the stories that get run this was far from the worst offender of not being relevant or entertaining. I mean, most of the stories on Yahoo "Sports" are less relevant!
I guess it may just have been a slow news day.
Being in the ad/media business over the last 25 years it’s been my job to recommend programming to clients and part of that is to make sure I have an unbiased look at what’s on air / digital and in print. What they ran with was consistent with their news “policy”.
