Reporter Charissa Thompson admitted outright to lying and even showcased she thought it was funny. Her admission breaks all journalistic principles and is a shot in the back to all diligent reporters who work hard at their jobs. Ive done sideline reporting and it deserves better

You better believe if a black reporter did this it will be bye bye 👋🏾. Two different systems .

She’s not alone. Just ask
@PeteThamel
or
@paulfinebaum
. Her mistake was just admitting it.

it's a slap in the face to those who couldn't even get our foot in the door so we just have to talk about sports on social media and pray we eventually go viral to get a shot.

None of these female sideline reporters are out in that position because of their journalistic integrity

Nope. Those reports are a joke and hopefully this proves they should get rid of them. Nothing personal but literally no one cares about them

It really doesn’t. But it is an opportunity for some of the most privileged communication majors in the world to play victim and spout their righteous indignation

So she inserted the answer most coaches give when interviewed on the sideline when she had no new material from a coach. Isn’t this old news anyway 🤷🏽♂️

One question: Why is there a role of sideline reporter? Would love to hear the honest answer.

Kelsey, you need to follow your journalistic principles and listen to the interview. You will understand this is not what she said
