			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://espn.go.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://krisbeldin.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/espn-742991.jpg" alt="" align="right" />ESPN</a> recently ran a column by Gene Wojciechowski and the steroid scandal that is still brewing in <a href="http://mlb.mlb.com/index.jsp" target="_blank">MLB</a> (read the article <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/columns/story?columnist=wojciechowski_gene&amp;id=2858983" target="_blank">here</a>).</p>
<p>Are you kidding me, Wojciechowski makes it seem like Kirk Radomski is doing something wrong by being willing to testify about the HGH/Steroids issues and what he knows about them. Although an opinion piece, this was a disappointing issue and, in my opinion, falls well below the standard of typical ESPN reporting.</p>
<p>Granted, my opinion is that players using HGH or any performance enhancing substance are dirty&#8211;I don&#8217;t care if &#8220;everyone is doing it,&#8221; that argument didn&#8217;t work for my parents and I&#8217;m sure it didn&#8217;t work for yours or the athlete&#8217;s! But Wojciechowski hit below the belt calling Radomski a &#8220;career jockstrap picker-upper,&#8221;A guy who retrieved sweaty sani socks off the clubhouse floor.&#8221;</p>
<p>This is the kind of attitude that keeps whistleblowers from coming forward, let&#8217;s ridicule them, make them look like they&#8217;ve done something wrong. I don&#8217;t care if the MLB corporate culture says what happens here stays here. If it&#8217;s unfair or illegal, as far as I see it you are an accomplice if you keep your mouth shut!</p>
<p>My Two Cents: This is poor reporting for any journalist. It&#8217;s not like he&#8217;s attacking Radomski&#8217;s credibility alone, Wojciechowski is making personal attacks on Radomski and that&#8217;s unprofessional!</p>

To tell you the truth, I don&#8217;t think a lot of people read the newspaper or watch the news with the understanding that a good part of what they are reading/seeing/hearing is placed by PR professionals &#8212; the better they are the better the placement and stories.</p>
