By: The Associated Press and E&P Staff ESPN banned staffers from the New York Post from appearing on any of its programming on Wednesday after the newspaper published photos this week taken from a video showing sideline reporter Erin Andrews nude in a hotel room.
The Post published three images from the blurry video Tuesday, including one on the front page.
Fox News and CBS also aired edited versions of the video or photos. Videos were removed from YouTube and most outlets have not run any images at all.
"While we understand the Post's decision to cover this as a news story, their running photos obtained in such a fashion went well beyond the boundaries of common decency in the interest of sensationalism," ESPN senior vice president of communications Chris LaPlaca said in a statement Wednesday night.
Newspaper reporters are regular guests on ESPN shows.
Post spokesman Howard Rubenstein did not immediately return a call from The Associated Press.
