In response to "Report: Dan Le Batard Chose To Stay Off Radio Today After Talks With ESPN President (his Thursday rant is awesome) -- (link)" by Beaker

Regarding the article itself, is this a commentary or a news story? He writes "..and ESPN’s cowardly decision to bar its own employees..."

The use of "cowardly" is the authors opinion, not fact. Yet I don't see the story as commentary and the author is listed as a "features editor".
If it's commentary, it should ber made clear. If it's a news story, it's sucky journalism.

LeBatard unleashed a commentary about his own network's policy. He called the policy cowardly. - Will Hunting Jul 22, 08:00 1
- So Dan Le Batard called the ESPN policy cowardly, not the writer. I guess reading is a skill. Thanks for clarifying. -- nm - zunk xometimes Jul 22, 08:18
