More Fake News

On this episode, Laura covers two more sports media stories. First, she covers how ESPN had a decades-long scheme to get on-air talent Emmys they weren't eligible for using fake names. Morgan and Laura discuss how stupid the motives seem for ESPN and discuss the nuances of the story.

Then, Laura discusses the Cutter Gauthier trade and the media coverage that came with it. Specifically she discussed a baseless rumor spread by a Flyers-affiliated podcast that made former Flyer Kevin Hayes look bad and resulted in death threats and other vile remarks directed at him. She also discussed the Flyers subsequently coming out and denying that story and Flyers head coach John Tortorella going after the podcaster who said those things and defending Kevin Hayes.

Morgan ends the show with rant and rave.
