Why is Don Ohlmeyer – a man who famously stood by buddy O.J. Simpson during the double murder trial, a man who, as an NBC executive, called for a “four games and out” World Series between the Florida Marlins and the Cleveland Indians in 1997 because he was afraid the series would hurt his network’s ratings – even an ombudsman for ESPN?

Ombudsmen at ESPN and the NY Times, to name two prominent but not unique examples, simply don’t publish enough to do their jobs. At the Times Hoyt covers very few topics, and half of the ones he does address answer questions nobody’s asking or are more suitable for a fifth-grade class touring the newsroom; like his predecessor, he is mostly running out the clock and seldom asks the truly uncomfortable questions.
