Bonds Hits 752nd and 753rd Home Runs

The media always wants to have it both ways. They are currently hyping Barry Bonds soon come breaking of the all-time homerun record. They don't mention too much about all the allegations surrounding the Giant player's steroid use. That doesn't suit them until the record is broken. Right after it happens you will hear tons of stories about the scandals surrounding the "all time homerun king." Because nothing is wrong until the media says its wrong. And nothing has merit until the media says its important:

Barry Bonds moved within two homers of Hank Aaron's record Thursday, hitting Nos. 752 and 753 with two of his biggest swings this month and ending his worst slump in six years. He was rested and ready, all right.

For example, this article makes no mention of the steroids allegations. They do make a brief reference to the scandal surrounding his trainer. How do you mention the perjury charges and not mention what that perjury was in reference to:

Meanwhile, it appeared that the yearlong term of the federal grand jury in San Francisco investigating Bonds for perjury had been extended. Thursday marked the year anniversary of the grand jury's creation and the strongest indication that it remained in session was the continued incarceration of Bonds' personal trainer, Greg Anderson.

Anderson is being held in contempt of court for refusing to testify in the perjury probe. He will remain in prison until he talks or until the grand jury's term expires. Grand jury terms last a year, but can twice be extended for three months.
