[QUOTE="TheGridironGeek, post: 172110, member: 1898"] I can never truly convince myself of media bias until it slaps me in the face. Because you always want to check yourself against wearing colored glasses. For instance, my Dad always railed at the bias of the NFL establishment against the Cardinals organization, and I would protest that it's a small market team, TV people are just lazy, etc. Then the NFL Network ran a special on the 1947 NFL Championship. If you're not aware, the Cardinals had a star lineman DROP DEAD IN THE LOCKER ROOM the week beforehand, yet NFLN thought it was more important that Steve Van Buren's car broke down & he had to take a train to the stadium. THAT is bias. So I'm watching CFB Daily last night, and the Louisville vs. Auburn game came up. Tom Lugenbill & the Three Stooges are sitting there, and the anchor man literally says: "An ACC team [I]beating [/I]an SEC team? I can't believe I'm saying this, but...it could happen!!" Didn't the ACC go 4-1 against the SEC last year? The bias is undeniably real. Worse, it's to the point where ESPN basically just lies about the results on the field & hopes the fans don't notice.
