Gentlemen of the Press? Tell us YOUR names--the LA Times' "correction"
Funny how timing works--if the false claims in the LA Times' front page story had come out only a few days earlier, they would have weakened the so-called Mitchell Report. Mitchell happily creates a link between the (fake) LA Times story and the court of public opinion as another reason for Andy Pettitte to lose his career.
- (By the way, once again Paul Byrd's name is miraculously out of the limelight. How nice for him).
- The so-called front page correction loses the casual reader with a confusing jumbled opening quietly getting to a correction--its purpose--in the third paragraph:
- Grimsley, a reliever who last pitched for the Arizona Diamondbacks, also named Chuck Knoblauch as a human growth hormone user, and accused former teammates David Segui and Allen Watson of using performance-enhancing drugs.
- NAME OR NAMES OF THE PERSON WHO REPORTED THIS FALSEHOOD AND HIS BOSS WHO APPROVED IT. NEED THOSE. (sm)
- (It appears the inmates are running the asylum). sm
- ON GEORGE MITCHELL'S USE of the FALSE STORY TO BACK UP HIS CLAIMS:
- Judge Voss who presided over the unsealing NOTED THIS:
- LA TIMES: "The [Times] article trumpets the success . . . in ending the 'months of speculation' surrounding which major league ballplayers Jason Grimsley named. . . . A review . . . proves that The Times never saw the unredacted affidavit. . . . At best, the article is an example of irresponsible reporting. At worst, the 'facts' reported were simply manufactured." Voss added:
- "Unfortunately, The Times' article still has legs," a reference to its mention in last week's 409-page report by former Sen. George Mitchell on performance-enhancing drug use in Major League Baseball."
- P.S. I understand you want everything in life to be "random"--murders, slanders, libel, robbery, plagiarism, bombings, and everything in baseball. In other words, we should all go home and die and let you have the world. That requires one to be a brain-dead robot, an employee of ESPN/MLB or aspiring to be such.
