If The Media Were Serious About Eradicating A ‘Perception Of Bias,’ They’d Fire Most Of Their Staff
The decision to not endorse Kamala Harris is more than just too little, too late. These newspapers are disingenuous and patently unserious.The decision to not endorse Kamala Harris is more than just too little, too late. These newspapers are disingenuous and patently unserious.
Former ESPN anchor explains the 'wokeification' of the sports network
Former ESPN “SportsCenter” anchor Sage Steele was living the life that all sports anchors dream of — until that dream job turned into a woke nightmare.
“When you kind of get pushed into a corner so many times, you have a decision to make,” Steele tells Dave Rubin. “Obviously, I made the decision I thought was right for me, to stand up and have a voice about being treated differently compared to my peers at the network because I didn’t fit the narrative.”
Steele was removed from the network in 2021 after she spoke out against vaccine mandates, telling a podcast host that while she respected an individual's decision to get vaccinated, she thought that mandating it was “sick” and “scary.”
Steele had also come under fire for her comments regarding female sports reporters and harassment, saying that women need to take responsibility for the way they present themselves.
“When did you start to see that something was not quite right?” Dave Rubin asks Steele, who tells him that there was one major catalyst for the woke shift.
“When Trump got elected,” she says, noting that on the night of his election, high ranking ESPN executives were tweeting about his election and how “sickened” and “disgusted” they were.
“That was the beginning of the end to me,” Steele says.
While ESPN’s blatant wokeness became a problem for Steele, it’s not the network's politics that rubbed her the wrong way.
“At the end of the day,” she says, “I don’t care who you vote for, I don’t care who you sleep with, I don’t care about any of it. Are you a good human? Are you kind? How do you treat me? Most importantly, how do you treat others when the lights aren’t on?”

Report: FBI Plans To Arrest Blaze Media Reporter Without Telling Him What Charges He’s Facing
The FBI is expected to arrest Blaze Media reporter Steve Baker on Friday without informing him of what charges he's facing.Megyn Kelley EXPOSES a major journalist who is SUPPORTING Hamas terror
The list of atrocities being perpetrated by Hamas are endless, and yet so is the number of people on the left who support them.
“The women, the babies, they are being murdered. They are being beheaded. The elderly ladies sitting and waiting for the bus are being shot multiple times by machine guns, and they’re posting the pictures online,” Megyn Kelly says in disbelief.
According to Kelly, while these horrifying images are circulating, there are Washington Post journalists liking tweets that say things like: “What did you think decolonization meant? Did you think it meant vibes? Losers.”
“That happened,” Kelly says, disgusted. “Her name is Karen Attia. She writes for the Washington Post.”
The post itself was written by Najmia Sharif, a self-described “Somali savant from Minnesota.” Her X account has now been set to private.
“I like to remind myself,” she continues, “that my adversaries on policy or ideologically are not necessarily evil,” however supporting the murder of women and children is evil. “That was a bridge too far for me.”
Kelly is shocked that these leftists can’t see Israeli citizens as people.
“It’s not even about exactly the Jewish thing. It’s about the humanity thing,” Kelly says, “where is your humanity?”
Dave Rubin agrees before asking Kelly what we should do about the “Hamas caucus,” aka members of “The Squad,” who Rubin believes, along with other detractors of Israel, are weaponizing free speech in a terrible way.
“If you constantly defend people who are calling for genocide and murder and beheading babies and everything else and always excusing it,” Rubin says, “I think we’re veering into something else.”
Kelly thinks it’s actually a good thing.
“It’s kind of good to see them posting these statements and really taking away all doubt. It’s wonderful actually, now we’ll always have these statements, so we can always dismiss all of their arguments because we understand that these are vile people,” she says.
