Is this really surprising? I found this very interesting, and not entirely a surprise, for two reasons:
1. Former NBA player Tim Hardaway's comments: http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=2766213 2. The explosive growth of niche publishing via cable TV, am talk radio, blogs, and the internet allows people with narrow views to reach narrow audiences. This allows people to maintain narrow news sources and not benefit from the perspectives of others. Only occassionally do narrow views (like Eng's) reach broader, mainstream media. I hope that everyone on this list is watching the PBS Frontline series on 'News War" as it explores this and other related problems.
