i know just what you mean. at the SPBLI reginoal, there was a %%%% nosey fox reporter. all she did was harrsas us. one time, before the match, we were ready to start, she wouldn't leave. the refs like had to drag her off the field. then, i watched the story on tv, and fox butchered FIRST. robot wars...winners get to go to the nationals in florida...pictures of robots smacking into each other...the list goes on.

i thnik that if reporters want to report anything, they should have to spend the 6 weeks with the teams, or at least check up on them to watch the progress. then, they'd know how the game works, and be able to portray the real meaning of FIRST. i guess the problem is really the people of America (yes, i am american). many people just want to see death and destruction, soFIRST doesn't fit in. the local news goes in anyway, and then converts FIRST to destruction of robots, so they get good ratings. and this is why i tend to hate media. no offense to anyone in the media, but sometimes it just pisses me off how little they really care for the truth.
