ESPN bias

[flycy]

As I’ve said before journalism is dead, media is alive and well and has an agenda.

I've often wondered what they teach in journalism classes these days. There was a time it was somewhat more important to be right than first. First seems to be most important these days, with the "responsibility" to tell the "dumb" masses what to think, not what happened. Arrogance is an issue that gets in the way in all professions, but it is next level in national journalism.

Like Miller and Condon on KXNO

I actually think Miller and Condon put together a good show. Yeah they talk some gambling but they know their stuff and Miller has a solid guest list.

Miller is alright, I generally enjoy most of his work. Condon comes off as having a gambling problem.

They don’t get paid by their quality of content they get paid by how many views and clicks they get. The business model has changed.

Also, we are a couple of hours away from being ranked #2 in the country who cares what articles are being written.

Yes ESPN is certainly biased against the Big12, but on the complete flipside I was streaming a show on Paramount last night and a commercial for March Madness came on.....it was like a Big 12 Tournament commercial. Every single team on it was a Big 12 school. Then it pops up - not Big 12 tournament - but March Madness. I bet that makes Big 10 and SEC just as equally upset.

No one is upset and no should be upset because commercials and talking head commentary doesn’t effect who cuts down the nets in March/April.

I bet you anything that it does not.

Shocked it's not buried on ESPN+

Who is Cooper Flagg?

WHY is Cooper Flagg?

 

[AllInForISU]

WHY is Cooper Flagg?

WHAT is Cooper Flagg?

 

[WooBadger18]

WHAT is Cooper Flagg?

But no one ever asks how is Cooper Flagg

At least with ESPN and it's host of networks, games are easy to find and in any streaming service. CBS Sports Network is harder to find. It's not Sling and not on Paramount+ (even though a Google search said so). So now you are stuck paying $75-82/no to watch most of the ISU games. Dumb.

SECspn may not even broadcast the CFP this year since 'Bama got snubbed. That channel is for laughing at the social inadequacy of the home and away voice of Storrs Agricultural School only.

I would love to see that commercial!

And Bilis is broadcasting the ISU -KU game. Lucky the Students aren’t there, could be a really interesting game.
