Bonds on Bonds

Watched the first episode of the show last week. Didn't think it was that slanted. They showed some very anti-Bonds stuff including several clips of him acting like a dick. But CNN has chosen not to report anything that happens on the show as news, because the production company has given Bonds complete veto power over anything that makes the show...or doesn't make the show. My expectations were for complete propoganda because I read of a meeting with ESPN execs where a lot of ESPN employees were begging them to scrap this project. Of course they didn't do that because ESPN has no journalistic principles, it is completely an entertainment network. Regardless, I thought the show was pretty entertaining, and subsequent episodes (starting tonight at 7) will only be a half hour.
