The power of the media

  • 2quik4u
    For years I was constantly fed the information by ESPN, TNT, and every person who covered basketball that Lebron was so unselfish, a terrific human being, and the least prima donna of any superstar that had ever graced our presence. At the same time, anyone and everyone told me the dreaded horrors of Kobe Bryant.


    I find it pretty amazing that all these stories coming out now were never leaked before.

    The media's the most powerful entity on earth. Because they control the minds of the masses.

    Depends on what you are talking about.

    Adultery - Yes
    Rape - No

    Seriously? You seriously consider rape and adultery to be equally as bad? Jesus.

    It all started with the SI cover "chosen one" bullshit and then the media built him in to something he wasn't. His friend Tiger found out as well.

    But they are completely different levels of scumbag. Comparing rape and adultery is almost insulting to anyone who has been raped.

    Committing adultery makes you a dick. Raping someone makes you a monster.

    There is a old saying that the Media builds you up, to tear you down.

    It's sad that so many people can't just sit back and enjoy 2 of the most talented players in a long time
