I am mixed on this.

I totally get the sentiment that the local news channel should do nothing but build up the schools they cover when broadcasting. With High School teams it should never be a negative.

With that said, I find it hard to be angry at the fact they said this when they thought the cameras were off. Just because you work for a news station doesn't mean you should swear undying devotion to every team in your coverage area and not have an opinion when you are talking shop off the air. What they were saying is no different than what people say on here every day...except what they were saying was never meant to be heard.

What I will say is it is a black eye to WYMT in terms of their organization and execution. Leaving the mics on are an amateur move and it could have been something much worse that came out of their mouths. Yet I don't think this deserves an uproar or any angst.

If this were a newspaper or a radio show (think the Sports Guys on EKB) questioning JC's schedule and whether they can beat the NKY teams, it would be water under the bridge and nothing more than a motivational tool. Just because you want someone to be biased doesn't mean they have to be.
