Media Bias at its Worst.....

If the season was to end today the Sox would win the Division and the Yank-mees would be the wildcard....Yet they list the Yank-mees before the Sox in the standings.....

Another Blatant Example of the Sports Media being all over the Yank-mees tip. Dis-Graceful

For exactly this reason, I refuse to watch games that Joe Buck is commentating, or any Boston team vs. New York team on FOX. Even when the Yankees were out of the playoffs, Fox was for some reason showing highlights from a game earlier in the season where the Yanks beat the Sox.

I just checked some sites for this supposed "media bias" and found some interesting things. MLB.com, ESPN.com, CBS Sports.com and Fox Sports all had the Sox listed above the NY team in the standings. The only site online I could find with the NY team above the Sox was Sportingnews.com. Clearly that site is run by stupid people.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
