. >> john: our panel featuring noted nonexperts, doan obeidallah creator of the dean's report.com.tina dupuy a syndicated columnist and editor in chief of the contributor and lee camp. thank you all so much for joining me. so do you guys think manti te'o's story is a hoax and if so, why would he do it? >> i think it is a hoax and i think that the story should not be about manti te'o. the story should be about "sports illustrated." i think that this is a media incompetent story. you can trust. you can admire. you can love but you also need to verify. >> john: do you agree lee? is it shocking sports journalist have no access to google? >> it is utterly pathetic. ironically what businesses me off the most though is when i was in high school, we would lie about being on the football team so that we could touch real, live girls. this is a real, live football player who had to lie about a fake girlfriend he couldn't touch. >> john: he said he held hands with her at some point. >> this makes me appreciate the lance armstrong scandal. at least i understand that one. this one, i don't know.
