video-editing maybe?

If you can't understand how the media can influence a person's perception of someone/something then I have no need to waste my time explaining.

So F Bonds and his bloated beachball sized head. I wish pitchers would start drilling him in the back instead of letting him hit HRs, and I wish Hank Aaron would hire someone to kneecap him Tonya Harding-style.

Stuff like this is really funny.

It goes Stalin, Bonds, then Hitler. Duh.

Yea, but all you can observe of Bonds is what the media presents to you. And the media hates him for biased reasons, so I'd say you're not giving him a fair shake.

[/ QUOTE ]

That's not true.
...
I've seen the interviews.

[/ QUOTE ]

Oh, Okay.

[/ QUOTE ]

What does this mean? Are you saying that a television interview of Bonds speaking on camera, with recorded audio and video, is somehow not accurate?

You keep making these short little posts as if everyone should understand what you mean. But I don't. Explain please how I have to meet Bonds and spend time with him to conclude that he's an [censored].

What he meant is that an edited interview doesn't give you a full perception of the man. I understood him perfectly.

[Jack of Arcades]

Also, go read an interview he did with Dan LeBatard if you can. LeBatard's a bit of a sycophant and he comes across much better. It's really a case of how the media should pretty much never be trusted. But you probably knew that already.

it's possible a man who's spent the last 20 years in the public eye has learned not to speak openly and candidly with the media.

That's not what he was talking about. Go back, reread the posts, and then make a serious, non-snotty reply.

It isn't just edited interviews. It's post-game interviews. Casual comments caught on camera (not edited).

I understand him perfectly as well. He's biased and things that Bonds is getting a bad rap from the media. He's wrong.

Bond is a prick. If you don't mind that and want to appreciate his game despite it, but there is litle doubt in anyone's mind that he's a prick. Ask the other players.

It's probable that he's a selfish prick.
