thehog said:I think they should declare their paid interests. If CES or Armstrong is paying them then they need to declare it.
In terms of the impartiality; when the Floyd revelations came out in 2010 most news organizations "reporting" the news would provide both sides - ie Floyd says they doped whilst Armstrong denies any wrong-doing and has never tested positive.
Whilst Phil, Paul and Bobke thought it would be a good idea to spend 10 minutes on Versus telling the world all of Floyd ills and that he has a "book deal" and his "credibility" was shot. It sounded strangely similar to the press conference Armstrong gave.
It really was poor journalism if you want to call it that. If they are being paid by Armstrong say so but to pretend they're part of the media and the opinions given are "true" then I think that’s truly poor ethics.
Phill has made some good $$$ from Wonderboy. Lots of foundation speaking engagements.
