Will Bernie Fine Get The Last Laugh?

As I have written about from time to time and talked about on my radio program-Game on with Bruce Jacobs, and predicted as well, ESPN faces a large lawsuit that I applaud.

The wife of Bernie Fine, former assistant hoops coach at Syracuse University is suing ESPN for slander, libel,and defamation of reputation.

Unlike the majority of ther clown media that frankly makes me sick as I have written about I have not at any point dropped this story and reporting or talking about updated information on this story. I have smelled a rat from the start.

I wrote that ESPN used a farcical audio tape that has since been alleged to be doctored to fit the story line ESPN wanted presented. I also alluded to the fact this whole thing was born out of ESPN being mad they didn't break the Penn State story. For those that might be new to this the folks at ESPN have this ego and attitude about themselves that says all sports stories are their domain to report and it isn't official until ESPN says it is. ESPN believes they have to stamp the story as fact before it is fact. Having broken stories myself before only to watch ESPN try and take credit for it, and having seen them use this tactic on other media outlets as well. It is the arrogence of ESPN and this hollier then tho attitude which I believe has led to where we are now.

I stated from the start this case has a stink on it like no other. ESPN held onto information for years until they tried to gravy train the Penn State scandal. Laurie Fine basically alleges this in her lawsuit how ESPN went with this story AFTER the scandal at PSU. I am still amazed that ESPN held this supposed "bomb shell" story along with a newspaper in Syracuse until the country was riled up by Penn State. I mean if we had a seriel sexual molester at Syracuse isn't incumbent upon "journalists" to report the story and help put a stop to it?

However as I have also written about a few times we don't have journalism in this country anymore. It's dead and it's not coming back. Instead what we have are people who for their own gain like to destroy people's lives. If proven wrong they don't care they just move onto the next person to destroy them. Frankly it's sickening. See Duke lacross for more proof of this. These so called 'journalists" didn't care about facts. No they saw white kids-rich white kids- and a Black woman who made these allegations and ran with it like it was fact..They used race hucksters like Sharpton and Jackson and propped them up as something of authority. The when the facts hit the fan 'journalist" was no where except maybe page 71 of the newspaper or perhaps 38 minutes into their broadcasts. No longer did the innocence of the lacross players get the attention of the allegations of the accuser. However in the world of "journalism" the way it works is facts don't matter but the seriousness of the allegations. Sad but true folks..Sad but true.

Now despite being labeled as uncaring about the welfare of children by some, I forged ahead with opinion and facts about this case. How 2 of the 'alledged" victims were clowns. The "journalists" reported these 2 liars with breaking news zest, front page or top story alignment. But when both proved to be liars guess what "journalist" either omitted it or buried it barely giving it a mention. That folks is how "journalism" works today. It is in my opinion the most disgraceful job title and I would be ashamed to be called a journalist.

Back to Laurie Fine-she claims her reputation smeared. her charitable work finished and her presence in the Syracuse area not welcomed. She claims she has had to live indoors for months and unable to resume her life as before.

Right from the start this case looked sleezy to me. The 1st 2 so called 'victims" looked suspicious and it seemed to me they were trying to make a buck. The 3rd so called victim, this habitual liar named Tomaselli is indeed himself a convicted sex predator. The 4th joker later admitted he lied. Oh he is doing hard time in the clink somewhere.

Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim ripped Davis and his brother in law and claimed they were money digging. He later recanted those comments and was then sued for defamation by the disgraceful Gloria Allred, an ambulance chaser to the nth degree. A judge recently threw out that suit claiming Boeheim is entitled to his opinion.

This case, or lack their of is only topped in slime by the reporting on it and the ZEAL which these so called "journalists" have for destroying people. Facts be damned. My hope is that Bernie Fine follows up his wife's lawsuit with one of his own and that ESPN is forced to not only apologize for their pathetic reporting but that it is forced to fork over millions in compensation. I hope more people who are slandered by so called "journalists' follow this closely. These so called "journalists" think they are protected by this shield. I find and have said, to me that so called "journalists" are the biggest enemy of this country and should be feared as such. I hope this pile of garbage reporting costs those who did it millions and also their reputations and frankly heads should roll because of it.
