Seems like the spikes being reported are only happening where football is taking place. Not the schools where they've cancelled. Just my two cents on media bias. https://www.9and10news.com/2020/08/18/michigan-state-university-moves-all-fall-classes-online/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious....Do you think there have been spikes at Michigan, UCLA, Ohio State etc but all the media has jointly gotten together and decided to keep it hush-hush? I thought the “theory”was that the media was bending over backward to make this look as bad as possible but now they are not reporting all of the spikes??

You would have to be living under a rock with a tinfoil hat on not to think that media outlets have agendas. And several of them share the same agenda(s).

The problem is most softbrains only read headlines. So media will sensationalize a headline to push an article filled with fluff and misinterpretation. The media is incompetent. That's putting it mildly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, the thing responsible for their livelihoods. I have a feeling the tin foil hats are needed to protect the “soft brains”. In actuality, people’s distrust and dislike of the media is because they (the media) take positions that readers / listeners / viewers disagree with. It’s always been that way. They dont care about college football. They aren't trying to derail it. I'm talking about media in general. You should research operation mockingbird.

What has been alleged by Rico is that the media has conspired in an effort to manipulate college football. There’s a Grand Canyon-sized difference. Not in an election year.
