WV> By the way, racing events, as all televised sports, are not "covered"

    You miss something: _all_ broadcast TV is fundamentally "entertainment", 
and doesn't resemble other "news media" like newspapers.  
    The entertainment aspect of TV dictates what sports will be covered: only 
those with spectacular visual appeal.
