Miami 31, Cincinnati 26
More evidence of local media bias against Miami, Or just hometown spinning? The web headline for the news article was "Miami 31, Cincinnati 26" with the subheadline of "Victory Bell remains in Oxford" In my print copy of the Enquirer the headline of the same article read "Redhawk trickery topples Bearcats" with the subheadline of "Score on fake field goal swings victory to Miami." I do not mind different headlines for print vs. Internet versions of the article, but the use of "trickery" in the headline sounds like something like the GOP was screaming about the NJ Supreme Court's ruling on the NJ Senate race. I think a better word could have been chosen if they were not trying to imply Miami got an "illegitimate" or “cheap” win. I checked the thesaurus for a better synonym and here were my choices: cheat, chicane, chicanery, double-dealing, fourberie, fraud, hanky-panky, highbinding, and sharp practice. I can only conclude that the headline writer did mean to imply that Miami’s win was either "illegitimate" or “cheap” or even both. I have made comments in the past that there has been a press bias in the Cincinnati media market, but I generally thought of it more as a business choice, like the Post’s reduction in coverage. I will have to rethink my ideas. My friendly jabs at local media outlets about the alleged anti-Miami bias may not continue to be so friendly.
