Default Michael Hirsley, Chicago Trib on Wagner card fizzle

Posted By: Chad

That is, both the article and the HBO special left room for doubt that the card is real. That's some good journalism there fellas! The story wasn't these two Davids fighting against the Goliath memorabilia industry, the real story was about fraud in sports collectibles and the lengths people will go to get something for nothing. God help me for saying this, but Geraldo would have exposed these hucksters for what they are. Sometimes a "news" article that bends over to show both sides is the worst kind of journalism. If one side is the truth, and the other side is an obvious lie, then what's the point of a balanced story? It only lends credence to the lie at the truth's expense. Again, bad bad bad bad journalism on this. And these two guys are one step closer to cashing in.
