...The One-Minute Pundit

The truly exasperating thing about the steroids debacle is to hear hundreds, nay thousands of sports hacks moaning, "We should have said something." LIKE HELL. It is exasperating also to have to explain something beyond expression, but sports are a wholly owned subsidiary of BIGMEDIA, as are the ratings and circulations they inspire. To accuse the sports teams that make YOU AND YOUR BOSSES the big money of cheating is the veritable equivalent of whistle-blowing, with all the penalties and scorn attached thereto. It is likely even had these jerks spoken up few would have believed them as they would be merely seen to be dangling bait at the awards dispensers; that they scorn themselves now is proof they were on top of the story after the fact, when they were good enough boys not even to entertain notions of trickery. It is blights like these that cause us to cast a murderous scowl at the news biz, and to insist it can't bankrupt itself fast enough.
