clemons innocent?

[Ronaldo]

Do you wanna know how scary the media influence has become today? If they were to come up with some conclusive evidence that Clemens didn't take steroids, to a GREAT number of people it wouldn't matter. They're so sure he's guilty, again, based on nothing more than media reports, that they'd be convinced the evidence was fake, there is now a conspiracy and the guy is still guilty.

I personally can't STAND Roger Clemens. I think he's an arrogant fuck. But in this particular case, I really hope they find out he didn't take them. I'd like to see how accurate I am with what I said above (although I already know it's true), and maybe a few more people would realize that just because you see something on TV or in print, it isn't necessarily the truth. No matter HOW many media outlets are reporting it.

Why do you think this way Ron? Based on the way the media portrays him? Or do you know him personally?
See... you're caught up in it but at the same time you bitch about the media. So are you influenced by it or what?

Personally I don't give a damn. I can't believe the attention it's getting.

That's a good point and you're right. But thinking someone is a jerk based on how he behaves when there are cameras around is a little different than thinking he's guilty of a crime without knowing all the evidence. If I was on a jury and I thought he was a jerk, I'd still look at the evidence. If I was on a jury and had a preconceived notion that he was guilty, I'd have a biased look at the evidence. THAT'S what dangerous about the media today. Once you're convicted by the court of public opinion, there's no getting your reputation back...it's that simple. Like I said, even if they found him completely innocent tomorrow, his reputation is tarnished forever, because some people will refuse to believe it.
