I'll also note that the KC Star once replaced Calvin and Hobbes with Family Circus.

WWJWS?
What would Jason Witlock, Mr Ball State, say? Would he call the Star racist as an ex sports editor?

Could've replaced something other than the great Calvin & Hobbes.

The old adage of journalism is 'do as little damage as possible' to those involved in the story. With emotional appeals, strong pointed language in one direction, they can manipulate their readers into an emotional reaction rather than a reasonable one based on facts. A lot of these people have a bone to pick with the fact Hill was EVER allowed into the league, and their coverage reflected that. To say that the Star was 'simply reporting facts' is bullshit. They were using their pulpits as activists to push a certain narrative against a guy. They never expressed skepticism over his guilt, but now are all expressing skepticism over his non-guilt. When skepticism and credulity each flow in one direction, bias is exposed. It's all 'wait and see' now, whereas that was not what was being encouraged in the other direction. It was a pile-on. You had guys like Florio grandstanding saying he'd stop covering the NFL if Hill was allowed on the field again. The distinction between 'journalist' and 'social activist' has been so muddied there's almost no distinction between them at this point. Apparently that's the case even in ****ing sportsball.
