Something struck a chord with me today. They were talking about how Armstrong didn't show enough contrition during his apology.
How can you excoriate someone for lying then complain because he doesn't come off as a prostrate bucket of tears in an interview? In essence, ESPN complained because Armstrong didn't lie in the way his audience wanted him to lie, which is what this is all really about. Most people actively seek out fiction displayed to them in palatable way because they desire to live in an ignorant cocoon.

So basically ESPN spent the past 2 hours scrolling "BREAKING NEWS" regarding this interview with Schaap and Te'o during the Thunder-Mavs game (which was a great game by the way) only to reveal that the "Breaking News" is that Te'o says he had no part in the hoax.
Breaking News Fail. |

Schaap sounded like a PR rep for Te'o. The report was a joke.

He didn't truly "believe" it until two days ago?

All of this is just a prime example of how terrible journalism is now. This is the same thing as a doctor removing the wrong testicle because he didn't read the chart. With twitter, a faster paced Facebook, ruling the world and everyone wanting their news NOW it was bound to come to this. Nobody does their research anymore. Everyone trusts their sources too much and low and behold, it bites them. And now the whole mass media world of today makes their elders that have come before them point and laugh in embarrassment.

Now, Te'o claims he wasn't fully convinced Lennay did not exist until two days ago - Otherwise known as the "Too Stupid" defense straight out of the CAA Training Academy.
Shaap said, "Te'o wanted to do this (interviewe) in an intimate setting" - With his lawyer by his side?

Yep. ESPN is just protecting their interests. Note that they have the broadcast rights to a shit ton of high profile Bowl games.
