Is she really worth her weight in GOLD?

Evidently USC Trojan Rebecca Soni is NOT, but UCLA Bruin Dawn Harper IS! Rebecca won a Gold Medal in an upset win in the Women's 200 Breaststroke while Dawn won a Gold Medal in an upset win in the Women's 100 Meter Hurdles. What does the biased (UC)LA Times do? They give Rebecca a 3 1/2 by 2 1/2 inch black and white picture with a mere two paragraph mention. Then, when Dawn won, they give her a color picture with a separate 26 paragraph article praising Dawn and the UCLA track program. What about an article praising the USC swimming program? Furthermore, Rebecca Soni won two Silver Medals also!!

Shouldn't one gold and two silvers be worth more than one gold?
