[See NewsBusters for more.] Media Research Center President Brent Bozell on Wednesday mocked ESPN for its latest outburst of politically correct craziness. Appearing on the Fox Business Network, he derided the removal of an Asian broadcaster because he has the name Robert Lee, the same as the late Confederate general. Bozell sarcastically suggested, “If ESPN is going to take that position, they don't go far enough. They need to ban the University of Virginia from their football teams altogether.” The MRC head joked, “ESPN owns the SEC network.... The Southeastern Conference is made of Confederate states. I'm calling on ESPN to ban itself!”
