Prejudice (Not Bias) against Tennessee

[Row 34]

National media responded positively to the Naval Academy canceling classes post victory this weekend. Tennessee cancels classes and we prefer athletics over academics. Consider this.
For anti-SEC bias look no further than Tennessee and Navy

They do hate us and have hated us for over a century.

Nancy Armour of USA Today has never had anything positive to say about UT, so this is typical of her.

I read all of Mark Twain in my youth and never came across that particular "quote".

Good for Chad Scott for pointing it out. More "call out" articles need to be had when major news outlets write articles on hyperbole for shock, awe, and clicks.

I doubt it, but maybe if we start holding news outlets accountable for what they write, they'll actually put aside agendas for news. I doubt it, though. There is no more middle ground. Media outlets take a radical, one-sided stance on any given issue and mold "news" around that message to emphasize their point.

My dad told me when I was pretty young that the media is a lot of up north, or specifically Big Ten schools, that are good journalism schools, think Northwestern. Implying they had a self interest in promoting the Big Ten when graduates became involved with the media one way or another. I never really thought this to be true, or have any specific examples, but this article certainly points out USA Todays bias.

That's because UT is republican, Navy is democrat. Simple

True, but then they start whining about freedom of the press and freedom of speech, and we've become a nation of such PC pansies that they win the battle ... again. Too bad that the guys who wrote the Constitution and original Amendments couldn't have envisioned the hypocrisy of the modern press.

Not true. The service academies are more conservative than most of the country.

That's because your dad - like some of the rest of us - was around before the internet when AP and UPI pretty much controlled everything in college football news. It was Notre Dame, the big 10, a big gap, and then everybody else; the bias was incredible. Pravda couldn't have handled it better. Ever wonder why SEC Heismans were almost unheard of until more recent times? Bet your dad hated ND, too; and his second favorite team was whoever was playing ND that particular weekend.

Well most guys would say the second part doesn't hurt much either when it comes to their spouse.

LOL yes he despises ND, and yes aside from Tennessee it was who was playing ND. Hilarious, nice call.

I still hate ND just as bad now as I did back then.... Penn State and Ohio State too.
