The P in ESPN stands for Parasite

A reporter was fired from ESPN for leaking company information.
He’d built his career off of gathering leaked information from sources, and the network gladly broadcasted it in between their commercials.
But when the network itself was the story, they fired him without hesitation.
Nobody surrounded the network, harassing the executives and staff for information.
They just read the statement on the air, and breathed a sigh of relief that they also weren’t fired.
Parasites never like to be picked from a nice juicy source of blood, and that’s why they hiss when you pierce them with a hot needle.
