YOU STAY CLASSY, RUPERT MURDOCH: This is all over other parts of the Interwebs, but given that it hits several of our traditional areas of interest--sportscasting, journalistic ethics, and internal machinations at ESPN--what's the best way to condemn the "peephole pervert" and "creepy cameraman" who took nude video of ESPN reporterbabe Erin Andrews? Why, of course, New York Post--republish stills from the video with the naughtiest bits blacked out to illustrate your story, while preserving Maxim-caliber nudity. I mean, when even TMZ won't publish stills or the video "because it is a clear invasion of privacy," maybe you're on the wrong side of this one.

Edited: To address valid point that perhaps we ought not link directly to what we condemn.
