It boggles my mind that a HUGE story like this has not been given the attention it deserves by the Des Moines TV stations. As far as I know, Channel 13 mentioned a few nights ago that Doyle is in trouble. Today, Murphy had a snippet of what McNutt said: "Doyle needs to go but KF stays." There has been no mention at all about the video from Wadley's mother, the Koulianos amazing statement, or the over 50 black players who have spoken out against KF.
The other two stations have had zero coverage of the incredible racist happenings at IA since all this came to light. As far as I'm concerned all the TV stations here have SUCKED on the biggest sports story here in several decades. This includes Murphy.
It's very obvious to me and all of you that they are SO afraid of the ramifications that they are keeping it quiet. They all bow to all mighty Iowa. DISGUSTING! On the other hand, if ISU has the tiniest wrong doing, they will make it a lead story and talk about it for weeks on end.
The good thing is that I believe this will not die. The National Media will get more riled up about it as the days go by.
The local media treats their press passes as season tickets. There's always been talk about outright cheering from the reporters in there. If those reporters were to cover this properly, they'd lose their season tickets.
