I still have not completely resolved how to treat this whole steroid era thing, or the Mitchell report, but I have decided that this report in conjunction with the media's treatment of Eric Mangini of the Jets are both testament to our continued anti-whistleblower attitude in society. Or should I say the "stop snitching" attitude. I know that there are a vast array of issues and forces weighing on any individual regarding loyalty, duty and personal self preservation in these decisions... but it seems to me that the same media that gets frustrated by the lack of willingness to report crime are the same ones that go after anyone that breaks "unwritten codes." I'm not sure how to thoroughly weigh the competing forces, but I do know that it is annoying to have these conflicting values being promoted in the media.
Oh well...
Blame the media, right?
