Justin Kaufmann of WBEZ has an excellent commentary on the Fox Sports controversy over the fake headlines about Jay Culter. He asks three questions:
1) Are NFL game broadcasts held to the same standards as sports reporting?
2) Do we hold sports media producers to the same standards as other journalists? We always seem to rip on bloggers for not understanding journalistic integrity, but do we expect the same from network television producers? They should know better, right?
3) Is this something they do ALL the time and are just getting called on it? Does this mean we have to look back and investigate Fox Sports packages on all football-related matters (for instance, can I really trust that the football player was homeless as a kid or did Fox make that up too?)
