Also, I would like to add that just because Sportsnet has him on their station doesn't necessarily mean they think he's creditable, it means they think he'll bring in ratings. That's like saying that Disney execs actually find Miley Cyrus funny because they let her have her own show.
Your analogy makes very little sense, if any. And no, on trade deadline day, sportsnet knows they will have a high rating irregardless of who is on the show. The reason they chose to include Eklund was to have another individual with resources, with the hopes of breaking news sooner than other stations. To prove how Eklund swayed the ratings minimally, my friends and I all watched TSN throughout the day despite Eklund being on sportsnet.
