Quote:If they weren't getting the ratings that allow them to charge more for advertising, they'd cover other sports.  The fact that people are tuning in to watch this coverage makes it clear that regardless of the complaints, they're getting ratings. 

 

That's kind of my point. As a news entity - and I realize that I'm really, really stretching the truth with that particular label - their number one priority shouldn't be to chase ratings. I guess the point that I'm getting at is that I expect news entities to provide the proper perspective on the news. Was James signing the biggest thing that day? Absolutely it was. Was it the only thing? No, and other sports / events and the people that care about them should have gotten their fair exposure.
