So I go over to Foxsports.com and there is this little blurb on the front page...

Rumors, ETC.
• T.O. grumbling about touches in Dallas

So I click the link and it goes to this...

T.O. grumbling about touches in Dallas
FOXSports.com
Posted: 9 hours ago
And so it begins. Terrell Owens has cooled off after a blistering start and has just five catches for 58 yards and no TDs in the last two games. As you can guess, he's not happy and he's not being quiet about it. Full story...

So I click the link for the FULL story and it's this...

Terrell Owens isn't upset. He just wants the ball. The Cowboys wide receiver has only five catches for 58 yards and no touchdowns the last two games combined. In the previous seven, he had averaged seven receptions and 123 yards per game and scored 11 touchdowns. "We got to pay attention to detail, and I'm sure the coaches will see that," Owens said Monday morning. "I mentioned it to [receivers coach Ray Sherman]. You know it's not a matter of guys doubling and triple-teaming me. I feel like in certain situations, I can outrun coverage." The Cowboys targeted 11 passes toward Owens during Sunday's loss to Philadelphia, including seven in the second half. He finished with two catches for 37 yards and one drop. -- Dallas Morning News


The first thing says TO isn't upset. The headline is that he's grumbling. Then the second story says he isn't happy, then the REAL story says he's not upset.

Isn't that just flat out lying???

Tell me there isn't an anti Cowboy or anti TO bias out there! Sheesh! :mad:

It's the DMN, what do you expect?

I quit reading that tabloid rag a long time ago. It is only suitable for the dog to crap on.

Any perceived Anti-Cowboys bias is magnified exponentially by the anti-TO bias.

That would require the mediots to actually be journalists.

Olberman is of the same ilk as the journalists at Fox. He's the Left's version of Bill O'Reilly. In my opinion, the vast majority of our news outlets have the same degree of bias, regardless of the nature of that bias.

There. No emoticons.

Media...Since when do they actually report truth or simply report what is news?

Simply reporting facts does not negate bias. Media outlets are using bias when they decide which facts will be reported and which will be discarded.

There is no such thing as pure objectivity. There is only intellectually honest intentions.

It's called a "tease" folks.

You tell a little about the story to tease or attract readers/viewers. Then you reveal the rest of the story.

And T.O. was upset. Not at anyone in particular but he wants the ball early and wants to be moved around more. Maybe it should have been worded different, i.e., T.O. is upset but not fuming or ready to turn on anyone. He just wants the ball more.

I have no problem with it. Then again, I understand how "teases" work.
