    The AP and UPI wire services that provide news online are also owned by the newspapers. Sadly

    So wait a second, if a newspaper reports a false story they are still credible mistakes happen, but when players have one positive test, their achievements are not credible anymore?

    Why don't you just come out and admit that you don't care if people take steroids?

    It seems that any time news comes out of someone taking steroids you are the first to rush to that player's defense.

    Well, except for Shawne Merriman.

    I just find it funny that the NY Times did a story on Papi and Manny. Just saying.

    The difference is, when a newspaper reports a false story, it's not the fault of the newspaper as a whole. It falls on the INDIVIDUAL journalist, and the editor. The other reporters, and other people not involved are unrelated and don't lose credibility. Since the majority of people involved maintain their credibility, the paper maintains credibility.

    In the case of a player, he took the steroids. Whether he tested positive once or a million times, he took steroids. Not only that, but newspapers report hundreds of stories per day. Baseball players get tested like 4 times per year. So, if a baseball player passes 3 out of 4....it's a much larger percentage than if a newspaper messes up 1 story a year.....

    It's just a different situation.

    how is it any different than Boston papers doing stories on A-Rod, Giambi, etc.?

    FYI - NY Times owns the Boston Globe...just a funny little nugget of info (to me at least lol).
