There's never been accountability in media because people that watch said media think it's anything more than an opinion and take anything they've said as fact. It's the same everywhere, sports is just obvious because of overexposure imhoI get that mate, but these ppl say make a comment like that and the presenter and millions hear it....and nobody picks him up on it at all.
Thats how those types of "statements" become the norm, no accountabilityt in any media these days.
