Media Propoganda - Why?

[zips92]

Let me ask you bros, who is promoting or better yet gaining from all of the recent media propoganda on the dangers of steroids and ancillaries? Sure isn't helping the pharamceutical industry is it? Supplement companies?

Negative media attention seems to be increasing regularly, and I accept that some is attributed to Major League Baseball, but it seems to go deeper than that..........why does the media care if folks use AAS?

 

[bigtravis]

its so that everyones attention isnt on George Bush's cocaine empire that his dad gave him after he left the CIA. while everyones focus is on AAS , the gate is open for everything else. lol.

lmfao... ya that must be it ! !

 

[cubuff27]

Yep...BigT is right. Take a political view and scare the hell out of the public with it...gains voters by promoting you are a moralistic conservative willing to "clean" up America. It will die down when they figure out that herion, coke, etc..is actually easier to bust down because there are far more people doing it, thus far more "criminals" pushing it...thus far more headlines to make to buy votes.

Its simply to generate viewers. If the media can create a scandal, people will tune in to listen. There is no conspiracy, its simply about ratings which then translate into $$$

People will always be scared of what they don't know anything about, and if they don't know anything about it... Hey, make it ILLEGAL!!

fuckin' idiots.

well that's my stance

I think all the coverage on all these athletes possibly using steroids is making the demand for it even higher...As for all the damn congressmen worrying about steroids in sports..Please worry about are damn soliders in IRAQ not how many fucking home runs Barry Bonds has hit and how much bigger his head is!!!

how soon we forget. do any of you remember who the poor dumbass was that the U.S. gov. went to capture back when bush sr. first came into office? hmm? does the name Noriega ring a bell. it was very fitting to take care of the middle man as soon as the Ex-head of the CIA takes office. as soon as the people wake up and understand who the largest importer of drugs into the U.S. is. then everything will then start to get better.
If you were wanting to rob a bank. wouldnt you rather have a bomb threat on the other side of town so it would be easier on you to do the job?

......why does the media care if folks use AAS?

because people are afraid of monsters and big scary black people.

 

[dullboy]

controversy sells.

the DEA tells the media that steroids turn normal suburban white teenagers into homicidal/suicidal maniacs and that they have scientific proof of this.

Dude give me a fucking break!!!!!! Come on Big T., I am not a fan of bush either. But that is the biggest load of left wing bull shit I have ever heard. Did you learn this by watching fahreheit 911? Lmfao.. Oh you must of forgot to say that the steroid issue is to cover up global warming.. hehe .. The reason I don't like Bush is not because he is too conservative. It is because he ran as a conservative and governs as a liberal. If you want to make the point that it is a diversion I might agree with you. But not to cover up the"bush drug empire" . How about to take attention off a war that should have been won & done. We should have pounded these magetts into the ground long ago. But instead we are making our solders fight with one hand tied behind there backs so we don't offend anybody. Or how about telling us that they got those nasty steroid smugglers from Mexico, while they leave the southern boarder wide open to every other danger headed our way. But see the problem is that the media is owned by the left and they HATE Bush. So they would not do anything to help him. The media has its own problems to deal with. People are waking up from spell of bs that the main stream media has been pumping into there homes since the 60's. They are trying to pump up there sagging ratings with this nonsense... Its funny how the media is so quick to point out the dangers of steroids, but they never seem to mention the danger that the Islamofascists represent. hmm?? By the way, Big T are you really in China?

I believe there is merit to this, because someone has to be making money from this publicity, but if it's not the government, who is I wonder? The scandal part is absolutely true, and we all know that sells, especially when it comes to athletes.......but what about the "DANGERS" and all the health warnings, who profits from that?

Maybe I am just too naive, or I am missing it all together. Could it be as simple as the DEA proliferates this in the media for job security?

It was started by Canseco and such and the media played it up, and politicians jump on board for votes... hopefully a new scary drug will replace it soon and those useless asshats in Congress can find something else to waste time on
