"The New York Post today defended its publication of photos from an illicitly filmed Internet video showing ESPN reporter Erin Andrews naked in a hotel room by accusing the sports network of having outed her. "No one would have known that a sick voyeur had secretly videotaped ESPN reporter Erin Andrews nude in her hotel room, if the Mickey Mouse sports network hadn’t sent a letter to an obscure Web site demanding that it take down its link to a fuzzy video of an unidentified blonde," the Post said in its popular "Page 6" column (Boston Herald)."
DP, Beer, and I were talking about this last night, and we really wouldn't put it past ESPN to do this. They didn't cause the video to be taken, but they sure didn't help hiding who the video was of. In the end, this is all good for ESPN. Erin Andrews will be an even bigger star, and ESPN's ratings will go up, but it is kind of fucked up if this is true at all.
