Here’s a non right wing source about Robert’s hackery, although the shoot the messenger approach to news sources is rather flawed:

Last year in the ny times selena roberts wrote a hit piece acusing A-rod of being a slum landlord, among other things.The majority of the comments were harsh questioning her credibility.

Personally, I’ve always disliked Selena Roberts. Mostly I couldn’t stand her tone, condescension mixed with moral superiority and a lack of, for want of a better word, charity toward other people, particularly anyone who is successful. Basically, she’s a hater and loves taking people down. I was thrilled when she left the NYT even though she got much more money to go to SI.com.

Apart from her obnoxiousness, I thought she was waaay out of line in the Duke rape case. She was one the leaders of the media lynch mob. She was calling for those boys’ heads from the get go. She never let up, not when the stripper’s story started smelling fishy, not even after the prosecutor resigned, the case dropped and the boys exonerated. She basically made up her mind that they were white male athletes and hence, had to be guilty. In her crusade, she grossly overstated the strength of the prosecution’s evidence and uncritically parroted their arguments. Not to mention made several factual errors, i.e., said the team didn’t cooperate, when the overwhelming majority submitted DNA samples.

Years later she still hasn’t admitted that she was wrong. Instead she says, “I think the intense response came from Duke-player supporters who felt threatened when someone, whether it was me or another columnist, started poking at the culture of affluence and entitlement… some segments of the Duke lacrosse crowd did not enjoy the scrutiny of their world.”

After the Duke lacrosse fiasco I’ve pretty much turned to hating her. Arod, may well be guilty. But I’m not going to take her word for it.

This is about his reputation and if turns out to be a lie. What are you going to says then? His rep still took a hit. I don’t care whta court we’re talking about, I just want concrete evidence.

Thank you, someone with some commen sense. I am not nor have I ever been a reporter but to me the bigger news is all the names not just one superstar even if he is Arod. From my point of veiw someone has an agenda and is pointing the finger at only one guy for a reason. I am not a big ARod supporter but this time I’m willing to give him the benefit of doubt until and if more concrete evidence then soeone whispered in my ear that he’s on a list and I verified with 4 other sources. What sources? Names please.
