A-Roid

Selena Robert's is about to release her new book, detailing all of the wonderful things A-Rod has done since being in High School. The book is full of accusations, alleged statements, and quotes from unnamed sources. To me, she sounds like a bad reporter trying to make some money and a name for herself.

As seen in the the New York University Journalism handbook (take from : http://journalism.nyu.edu/ethics/handbook/human-sources/ ), "Anonymity: The faculty urges students to avoid using unidentified sources whenever possible. In recent years, The New York Times, to name one media outlet, has come under fire for reporting stories largely based on anonymous government sources promulgating a particular point of view, and this practice undermined the Times' goal of covering news impartially -- "without fear or favor," in the words of its patriarch, Adolph Ochs."

Basically, if you're afraid to name your sources, the odds that you are skewing information in order to prove a point is raised, and level of objectiveness falls. To me, someone who can write an entire book without naming sources is a sham, and doesn't deserve to be published.

Selena will go on to become popular to many A-Rod and Yankee haters in her efforts to destroy one on the best players of all-time. I'm sure she'll make plenty of money doing such. Just remember back to the Duke rape case, where she slandered the Duke players who later were to be found innocent.. http://www.timeswatch.org/articles/2007/20070326114135.aspx if you need a reminder.
