Ghost of BiB Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Similar conversations come up in other venues, with regards to national news coverage and their actual or perceived bias. Networks no longer report, they shape in the interest of developing their niche in a demographic. They do this by providing entertainment vs. information. Everyone here crying about ESPN's (or anyone elses coverage for that matter) had to be watching it to get pissed off. Victory? To ESPN. They don't care what you, or I think. They only care that you watch. If you're watching because they drive you nuts - so what? Watchers = advertising revenue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C+ 679793[/snapback] I can't believe that he posted that third in this thread. There is no way that post has value in that spot. He could have easily posted something else and been able to use that post in the 10 or 11 spot. I am pretty sure a poster like Alaska Darin would have not posted that in that spot. Bad job and typical of our problems here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gross Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Damn. Crap. I should have traded down for a 10th. 679799[/snapback] I know, after reading some of the insightful commentary here, that I could use a fifth. They didn't win with me, as I didn't watch a second of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I want is a dominating topic, and we've taken exactly ZERO steps toward getting that as a board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if ESPN/the media causes so many people in here to get all vitriolic, upset, and defensive, the solution to their problems is simple: don't watch it, you'll feel better.
