Journalists don't just report the news, they make it too. Now, I've given you two heavy posts, and this sounds like another one- but its really much lighter.
A-Rod is the best player in the game today. Possibly the best player to ever play the game. He does EVERYTHING well. And he makes money because of it. Some people don't like A-Rod because he doesn't cause the teams he's on to automatically win. Others don't like him because he's kinda sulky. Others don't like him because he knows that he's good.
But now Jeff Passan had gone out and called him Barry Bonds. You know, the most arrogant and rude player in the game today. The one with a personal entourage that completely dominates the clubhouse. And admitedly took steriods.
A-Rod is nothing like Bonds. But because Passan says so, and because A-Rod will be chasing, reporters will be making the comparision. And when they pop that question- how can A-Rod respond? No matter how he responds, he only 'proves' their point. Unless he gives them a hug, says 'I Love You' and looks like a general twat.
That's the power of propaganda.
