More Media Criticism
Edited on Mon Aug-27-07 05:53 PM by erpowers
Lately, I have been criticizing the media a rather great deal. Today, I will offer some more criticism. Earlier I was watching CBS Nightly News when the news show did a story on Michael Vick. During the story the reported stated that Vick could lose everything. My problem with this is that Vick in no way, shape, or form will lose everything. Yes, there is a chance that he may never play in the NFL, but that is not losing everything. After all this is done Vick will most likely walk away with $66 million not including the money he made from endorsements and other fees. In addition, before the story started Katie Couric, the host of the show, said that Michael Vick was looking at doing some "hard time". I have been told that federal prison is not as nice as I thought it was, but I do not see one year in prison as "hard time". It is bad practice for the media to over blow stories.

1. Shame on you. Where's your sympathy for Michael Vick?

He's the "victim" afterall. :sarcasm::sarcasm::sarcasm::sarcasm::sarcasm::sarcasm::sarcasm::sarcasm::sarcasm::sarcasm::sarcasm::sarcasm::sarcasm::sarcasm::sarcasm::sarcasm::sarcasm:

$66 million is a ton of money!
Vick can serve his year and then get on with his life easily.
