    Truth's not welcome here... But you certainly are. As are the examples of poor journalism. Post to your heart's content; truth, lies or otherwise.

    I'm not making fun of people in the newspaper business.
    What I have presented is quiite a serious matter. Get the facts right and knock off the hype or get out of the business of journalism. The public deserves better than that period. Journalists have a responsibility and when they ignore that resaponsibility they should be called out for it. I certainly didn't see any posts that were in agreement with me outing those guilty of poor journalism. Is there a "secret code of silence" about what goes on in the editor's room? Is hype what counts at the expense of accuracy these days?

    You need to pay more attention to the whole board, rather than your pet project. Poor journalism gets called out constantly on this board.

    But one-trick ponies who do nothing but push their own agendas are quickly rejected.

    But....but....creamora said it, so it must be true! It must be factual! And we all have our heads in the sand becuase we don't agree with him!

    And that stuff Barry Bonds used to get bigger? Just a protein shake! Really!

    Putting aside Creamora's typically provocative and less-than-constructive tweaking of board members, his point about the normal range of testosterone levels and the way that part of the story was reported, were on target. It's disturbing that top publications in the industry, which have the resources to verify facts, publish inaccurate information.

    cranberry,

    Thank you for acknowledging the basic facts. It took a hundred posts for somebody to respond with recognition of the important point. If it wasn't important then the article would have never been written in the first place.
    Everybody got it wrong about his testosterone level and somebody needed to set the record straight. Even if "everybody" hates Barry Bonds.

    I've had sleeping problems my whole life, and even my doctor hasn't pinpointed the exact cause of the problem.

    Maybe it's just because I'm a sportswriter with an evil, restless soul.

    I used to just have sleeping issues. Now I can't even look at myself in the mirror without crying.

    What have we done to these poor, innocent people?
