Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News
Fox Sports NFL Kickoff host Charissa Thompson admitted on a podcast that she makes up sideline reports because, “The coach wouldn’t come out at halftime or it was too late.” This, understandably, has pissed off some other sports reporters who called her out for being unethical:
A good portion of the public doesn’t trust the media as is. I cannot believe she would proudly admit this. This causes significant harm to the people who actually take the job seriously. It’s entirely unethical and worthy of never working in the field again. https://t.co/c3s6ErFZOI

Young reporters: This is not normal or ethical. Coaches and players trust us with sensitive information, and if they know that you’re dishonest and don’t take your role seriously, you’ve lost all trust and credibility. https://t.co/yMnM1T995P

Charissa Thompson messed up on many levels.
1) Making up reports. Pretty self evident as to why.
2) I get it PMT is a relaxed environment, but revealing that was an odd choice
3) All the sideline reporters who do the job correctly look bad as a result.— Andrew Marchand (@AndrewMarchand) November 16, 2023
This is absolutely not ok, not the norm and upsetting on so many levels. I take my job very seriously, I hold myself accountable for all I say, I build trust with coaches and never make something up. I know my fellow reporters do the same. https://t.co/sl0T7w32u9

Thompson took to her Instagram Stories to apologize, saying, “Working in media I understand how important words are and I chose the wrong words to describe the situation,” she said, adding “I’m sorry. I have never lied about anything or been unethical during my time as a sports broadcaster.”
Ok, but this looks like a funeral for Phil?

Here’s Fox News wooing young voters:
McDowell: Pew Research found out 32% of Americans ages 18 to 29 get at least some news from tiktok. What an incredible advertisement for Gen-Z. Hey, we're not just egomaniacal and unmotivated and irretrievably stupid layabouts.. pic.twitter.com/A8LSb475RT
