STRIKE THREE, You're OUT, (UC)LA Times!!!

Another lengthy article with a large headline written by reporter Gary Klein about the UCLA Baseball Team's victory last night over TCU, was published by the (UC)LA Times in this morning edition.  I'm amazed that there was no picture!

So, the Bruins won their Super Regional.  So, they are at least one of the top eight collegiate baseball teams in the nation this year.  So What!

The USC Men's Tennis Team (2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012) and the USC Men's Water Polo Team (2008. 2009, 2010, and 2011) were FIRST in the nation for FOUR consecutive years when they both won four NCAA titles in a row! The (UC)LA Times never wrote any lengthy articles or published any pictures of the Trojan's amazing accomplishments.

STRIKE THREE, You're OUT, (UC)LA Times!!!

When will your BIAS for UCLA over USC ever end?

STRIKE TWO on you, (UC)LA Times!!

Your beloved Bruins won the first game of their baseball super regional last night.  They get a 5 x 4 inch picture and lengthy article written by Gary Klein.  It's not even the College World Series yet!

USC's Men's Tennis Team won their fourth NCAA Team Title in a row on May 22, 2012.  They never rated a single picture in four years in the (UC)LA Times!

STRIKE TWO on you, (UC)LA Times!!

When will your BIAS for UCLA over USC ever end?

STRIKE ONE on you, (UC)LA Times!

This morning's (UC)LA Times college baseball article by reporter Gary Klein is entitled, "UCLA's Brown delivers from all over the diamond."  This one article about the Bruin Baseball Team is longer than all four "ETC." articles in total that the (UC)LA Times has written about USC over the span of four years.  In those four years, the USC Men's Tennis Team has won four consecutive NCAA titles.

STRIKE ONE on you, (UC)LA Times for your continual BIAS for UCLA over USC!

When will they ever strike out?

 

Men's Golf and Baseball, Too!

USC Men's Tennis won their fourth NCAA Championship in a row on May 22, 2012.  Then, USC Senior Steve Johnson won his back-to-back NCAA Individual Title when he won his 72nd consecutive singles match on May 28, 2012.  The (UC)LA Times merely mentioned these two accomplishments with small articles and headlines in "THE DAY IN SPORTS" section.  NO PICTURES anywhere!

In Thursday's May 31, 2012 sports page, the (UC)LA Times had two feature articles about their beloved UCLA Bruins.

"SIDE BENEFITS" by Eric Sondheimer had a picture and lengthy article about UCLA reliever David Berg.  "THE DAY IN SPORTS" had a BIG headline and article about the UCLA Men's Golf Team, who was in second place in the NCAA tournament.  That headline and article was bigger and longer than the USC Men's Tennis article.

Men' Golf and Baseball, Too!

When will the (UC)LA Times BIAS for UCLA over USC ever end?

YES! and NO!

YES!  (UC)LA Times sportswriter, Gary Klein, actually wrote an article with a TITLE about USC's ace tennis player Steve Johnson.  Steve and his teammates just won a fourth NCAA Men's Tennis Team Title in a row!  Steve just won his back-to-back Men's NCAA Singles Title yesterday, when he won 72 consecutive singles matches.  An NCAA first!

NO!  Where is a PICTURE of the USC Men's Tennis Team?  Where is a PICTURE of Steve?

WHY?  The (UC)LA Times has featured UCLA golfer Patrick Cantlay in several articles with pictures.  He has not won any titles this year!  There have been ZERO feature articles and pictures for USC's Steve Johnson!

When will the (UC)LA Times BIAS for UCLA over USC ever end?

NO! and NO!

USC Senior, Steve Johnson, won the NCAA Men's Singles Championship this morning.  He finished his USC career with FOUR consecutive Team Championships!  Steve won 72 consecutive singles victories after his historic victory today!  He is the FIRST collegiate tennis player to win back-to-back Team Championships and Singles Championships!

Will the (UC)LA Times print a picture of Steve in its sports section tomorrow?

Will the (UC)LA Times publish an article with a separate title about Steve's accomplishments?

NO! and NO!  He'll be lucky to get a mere mention in their ETC. Section.

WHY?  Steve Johnson is a TROJAN, not a Bruin!

Triple BOGEY you, (UC)LA Times!!!

When your beloved Lady Bruins moved into second place after the second day of the NCAA Women's Golf Championships, your sports page (Thursday, 5/24/12) gave the Lady Bruins a large headline and article in the "ETC." section.

When USC's Women of Troy catapulted into second place on the third day of the NCAA Women's Golf Championships, your sports page this morning gave the Women of Troy a headline that was HALF the size of the Bruin's headline and a mere mention of the accomplishment in the "ETC." section.  The article gave more press to the Bruins than the Trojans!

When will the (UC)LA Times BIAS for UCLA over USC ever end?
