Covering Tiger Woods' apology
posted on February 19, 2010
Tiger Woods made a somber apology today over his marital infidelities. The golf legend's professioal career, public image and personal life were turned upside-down last November following a car crash that uncovered numerous sex scandals. Considering today's apology was a carefully choreographed event that did not allow reporters questions were not allowed. Was Woods' mea culpa deserving of the live network coverage it received?

I'm surprised the panel didn't mention the part about Buddhism. I thought that was a direct response to Brit Hume.

I don't care about it, but I'm sick of the journalists who say, "leave him alone and it's a nothing story" too.
It didn't deserve or warrant the degree of coverage it received today. Report it on the evening news, put a story about in somewhere inside the daily newspaper, fine, but to preempt scheduled programming and broadcast it live, on every network, was totally inappropriate. He's a celebrity jock, who cheated on his wife, and stonewalled discussing it, then took a serious hit in his endorsements and standing as a spokesman. Now, he did this to try and stop the bleeding and rebuild his reputation, and all the networks were willingly used by him.
Amen, acf. Amen.
