[QUOTE="Bruce Wayne, post: 104656, member: 231"] Of course it all comes down to media bias and agenda. It is the same in all forms of t.v. (well really all mainstream) media that they coalesce easily around a "narrative" and they stick to it no matter what occurs in the real world. The whole point of having a bias is to make dealing with reality "easier" because one has already [I]always [/I]written the story [I]ahead of time[/I] and can simply be lazy or easily adapt in the moment to the agreed upon prior narrative. Critical thinking is tough to do. Being patient and waiting to conform one's thoughts to reality is [I]very[/I] hard to do, especially in journalism. It takes an integrity that few can muster (Furman Bisher may be the last we see). This is why in a press conference every questioner tries to [I]offer [/I]the interviewee an answer in the way they formulate their very question! And there is no incentive to do otherwise. Everything that has followed this season in the media is based on a preseason decision to declare the SEC [I]and everyone in it[/I] superior to everyone else. All strength of schedule calculations as well are based on this same pre-season narrative. [/QUOTE]
