The idea of MLB.com as independent journalism
From Field of Schemes: "MLB.com really, really wants to be taken seriously as an independent news site — it's why every article carries the tagline
- "This story was not subject to the approval of Major League Baseball or its clubs,"
- hoping to convince you that despite being owned by MLB, it's real journalism.
And then it goes and runs an article like this one, headlined "New ballparks can mean new hope for teams." Oh, yeah? What's your evidence, reporter John Schlegel?"...3/25, "Anatomy of a snow job," by Neil diMause
