Why?
Because Barry Bonds is going down, that’s why. And it’s not fair. The mainstream media today is projecting this issue based on whether they like or dislike Barry Bonds.
It’s akin to the politician who, when asked about his stand on illegal drugs, states 'I’m against them' Most people don’t like Barry Bonds, so they root against him.
Dick Meyer is the editorial director of CBSNews.com, and an example of how the media has determined that Barry Bonds is guilty regardless of the fact that he has never been indicted or suspended.
On May 24, 2007, Meyer wrote:
'…Bonds cheated…He is like all too many people in the public eye today.'
On October 19, 2004, Meyer wrote:
'…We now have the facts to be able to judge what he has done and not what he has said, or not said, about what he has done. That’s enough…'
In the first quote, he has taken all the allegations (not evidence) about Bonds and declared him guilty.
The second quote supports Mr. Meyer’s contention that there was no evidence that Saddam Hussein ever possessed weapons of mass destruction and declared him innocent.
Just like seventh grade, it’s all a popularity contest.
If you can’t prove that the firecrackers caused the ostrich to become impotent, then you have no case.
Note to Hank and Bud - Shut down the rhetoric and punch your ticket to San Francisco. The high and mighty thing ain’t working.
Note to the rest of us - Look at the full picture. You may reach a very different conclusion.
