First ABC mixes up who died in the helicopter crash, then an NBC reporter mixes up the Knicks & Lakers, then Mayor Pete refers to Kobe's work "on the field", & BBC runs an entire segment of LeBron footage thinking it's Kobe.
I can’t be the only one who’s somewhat mystified by the media’s framing of the death of Kobe Bryant as the loss of a cultural icon. A newsworthy tragedy — of course. A major sports story, absolutely. But day after day of “People are sad, Film at 11” masquerading as news is a little out of hand. Or maybe the networks are just pandering to a temporary ratings bump from sports fans.
