East Coast bias
The Media are accused of many biases, one of which is related to time zones. Things on the West Coast are often ignored, the Pacific crowd alleges. Here's an example where they're right.
On Wednesday afternoon, a host of the thrice-hourly news updates on ESPN Radio informed us that Kevin Youkilis of the Red Sox, one of the only two teams that matter in Major League Baseball, extended his hitting streak to 21 games on Tuesday night. When reading the Mariners' score moments later, the broadcaster failed to let us know that Ichiro extended his streak to 22.
Let's fast forward a few weeks. On the night that Ichiro gets to 50, what's the story? That "The Greek God of Walks" has hit in 45 of 50 for the Sox.
