If the reporter who fronted the story can't get a word in edge wise without help from other journalists, what clout does Slone have to do what you've asked? Typically Bettman has one interview a year, and that's getting softer and softer at each subsequent All-Star game.
I feel like the expectations of personalities like Slone, in particular, are flawed. Them speaking out and offering support are literally the limitations of their power until they are invited to the table.

Can you not see that the virtue signaling journalists of the PHWA (this is the group that gave votes to Draisatl for the Selke) could have stepped aside and let Westhead be the only one asking questions. He is the one everyone wanted to listen to instead of hacks like Seravalli and others.
As to Tara Sloane, sure she can make a statement but don't proceed to lecture anyone, but I guess working with the king of morals Ron MacLean forever they think she can speak for everyone. When these so called hosts and insiders step up and say exactly why they didn't investigate and speak out when it originally came to light (Friedman's excuse was he was too busy ffs) then they can have all the market time they need.
I agree with Corsi on this one.
