Journalism or Pro-Wrestling -- which is more fake?

Watch this and let me know...

Basically -- a wrestler with the WWE stat down and talked about steroids. When asked if he ever did, the wrestler said, "absolutely not" and then talks about how there is always a cloud of suspicion over any athlete who performs well. CNN twists this around. I'd say it's "funny" to see this, but it's actually not.

I actually watched that special last night and its impossible to take CNN seriously on this. It was obvious from the beginning they were out to get Vince McMahon. I am not saying the WWE is a perfect organization, because they are not. But when you are constantly throwing the emotional card at your audience by talking to an angry father (Chris Benoit's) it throws credibility out the window. Obviously his father deserves to be heard and listened to, but they constantly were focusing on the bad and then for about 2 minutes they talked about the new system being put in place that is being put in place by the same guy that put the NFL's testing policy into place...

this is why news journalism is a joke today, they do not even attempt to hide their stance on the issues anymore

Hmm. I'll take a look at the vid later. My guess is they are both pretty crooked.
