Does ESPN have an East-Coast Bias?

From The Big Lead:

Our hockey writer, Lee Diekemper, sent us an email at 11:35 this morning, alerting us to check out the ESPN baseball headlines. Nine headlines, and only two of them didn’t include the Yankees, Mets or Red Sox. Did contraction happen and we not get the memo?

Yes

 

They are in Connecticut and have always had a slant on the east and New England also seem to favor the Big Ten +1 for whatever reason.

It would be more accurate to call it espNY, as they whore themselves out to NY teams...even the METS and KNICKS.
