I haven't watched SportsCenter in probably over 2 years. McKendry, if I remember correctly, is in a typical anchor position.
NO, she is NOT supposed to interject bias and make jokes at a team's expense.
But, what do you expect? It's ESPN. Just a bunch of puppets and ho's over there.
And I don't even have a problem with bias and opinions, but I want reporters and analysts to look at things as objectively as they can, get both sides of the story, and be accurate with the information being brought forth. And stop guessing and treating it like it's a fact. It's not and it's HORRIBLE journalism and quite frankly, they should be ashamed for doing it. But, most of these sports media people have no shame.
The more and more we point out this nonsense and quite frankly, unethical journalism, the sooner they stop doing it. Or at least they are exposed as frauds and in reality ho's, because they are willing to act and look like a fraud for money.

To be fair though, you will never get unbiased anchors, reporters etc...
You are asking for them to be robots. What made espn so popular was the bermans, olbermans, patricks, stuarts etc.. of the world injecting life into the broadcast.
Me personally, I just hate the build em up with false information and then tear them down based on their own build up and false perception. So I ignore them.
I think it is pretty crappy that people like berman, linda kohn, scott whatever his name is love to do the highlights when we lose or romo makes a mistake so they can throw their nonsense around but when we win they all sulk and point out the butts.
I like guys like Todd Archer that just tell me whats going on and tell me the reason, I dont need the other stuff from most people. I understand what espn is and what it needs to do to operate in the environment that now exists.
I do resent ESPN for insisting that all sports be covered like the nba and built around stars, because that is an nba thing. It has caused other sports problems and it has caused the way people view the other sports to change. Then they have the audacity to turn around and attack people like ocho uno, T.O., randy moss, lebron etc.....They helped more than anyone create the monster. Watching them then in turn villainize individuals for acting the way they actually portray the sports to get viewers is comical to me.
And in a nutshell that is what they do with the cowboys. Build em up for the sake of it in the offseason and then in the season tear em down for constantly being talked about. Its stupid, but its the nba and espn way.
I wont even get into all the x players just cashing checks there. 99% of the former player that work there are a complete insult to most fans. Its frustrating to watch because of how large the audience is and how much different it actually could be.
but again, they were the main players in creating this environment and it wont change. When dan snyder bought scott shapiro away from espn and put him atop one of his companies espn went down this path even further.
