TV hype....?

can you get honest commentary?

I am watching boxing right now but I hate 1 sided commentary. I feel offended because what we see isn't what we are hearing.

It comes from the build-up. The media was all over the Rockies...who had no chance...they hype the underdog and What I hate is that the do it while the event is on to cover a 1-sided event....Give me your thoughts.

I was watching HBO boxing...hype city...insulting to a real fan.

    It's a double edged sword. You need the commentators as they come with the broadcast. You need the broadcast to have the revenue in the sport to keep it going. You need it going to watch whatever sport your interested in.

    I know I have a tendency to watch things on mute and listen to music or something else if it becomes unbearable.

    I think its something that can not really be avoided. Most commentators will be partial to a particular participant or at the very least take the view of the majority to come across as popular. I think most commentators tend to lose themselves in exciting matches of whatever sport and will tend to disregard an objective view in the process.

    The best thing to do would be to raise the issue with the network who broadcasts it.
