    I just looked at my travel expenses for a 38 week Nascar schedule. It's crazy, and I work hard to find reasonable airfare, rental car and hotel prices. The old days are gone.

    Old peeps remember when you looked forward to seeing the new Coaches Poll in the USA Today lol
    I enjoy Whitely and noticed Graham Hall headed to another site.
    Zach Abolverdi gave them constant coverage and good analysis, he's been gone awhile.

    Thank goodness Gator Country has remained!!

    Go Gators!!

    Sad state of affairs. I live near Philadelphia, PA.
    As far as I know we are down to one FM station that still has human disc jockeys. (WMMR).

    I think it sucks how companies like I-hart or these other big mega conglomerates just plays recordings all day long. A huge step down for the Public IMO.

    The media no longer cares for your opinion. They now tell you want opinion you should have. They have gone from reporters of the news to creators of the news.

    "Main Stream Media"... ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, FOX, USAToday, etc, etc.
    As a graduate of the University of Florida's School of Journalism, this is one of the saddest examples in our Nation's long history.
    Read the book, "Bias" by Bernard Goldberg:
    "Bias: A CBS Insider Exposes How the Media Distort the News is a non-fiction book by Bernard Goldberg, a 28-year veteran CBS news reporter and producer, giving detailed examples of liberal bias in television news reporting.
    It was published in 2001 by Regnery Publishing and reached number 1 on The New York Times Best Seller list in the non-fiction category."

    I don't need to read it, I see it every day. The people who read the news on tv are just paid actors and the people who write the news just want as many eyeballs as possible watching or reading. It's all tabloid journalism now with a few facts sprinkled in. And they are half-ass facts at that.

    The networks and media giants are in control now. They make all the money. They decide what you see, hear and read. They are gonna eat up all the small fish.

    Those small fish have already been digested and eliminated.

    When I want to know what is really going on I try to find both a news article by the Wall Street Journal and one by either the New York Times or the Washington Post and read them both. While all of these papers do have a bias they are all committed to telling the truth. Getting the story from both sides where they make an attempt to tell the truth is something I appreciate.

    Okay, I took the bait. It is almost ALL major media outlets now. You watch the ones that agree with your agenda and are happy, all the while ignoring their bias.

    I don't watch TV news at all, except for local news. The rest I get from internet and paper subscriptions, such as the Economist.
