Imagine if our newsmedia from 2002-07 had been similar to the sports media covering A-Rod

Some quotes about A-Rod

*****
"I don't know why anyone should believe him. He's told two different stories and now we're back to no-comment. This after saying he wanted to some clean."

"He lied the first time. And let's be serious, does anyone believe he had no idea what he was putting into his body? With the size of his contract!"

"I watched it with a guy who's an expert on facial cues. He said you can tell he's lying by watching his face and eyes..."

"For a guy who wants to come clean, he was awfully vague. He's only telling people as little as possible to sound convincing."

"According to people in the Dominican Republic, you couldn't by that over the counter even with a prescription."

"If you believe what he's saying, you must believe that A-Rod is the stupidest man alive."

It's a shame the mainstream media lacked this kind of critical ability
