Now that the season is over, in most parts of the country, the press will surely be much less. Fortunately for us, we can get all the info we want or need via the internet. One of the things that was very clear this season, as well as last is that the press played a large role in just about everything that concerns NASCAR Winston Cup. It began last year with the death of Dale Earnhardt (what, why and who was to blame and how could it have been prevented) and continued this year to what's been happening with Tony Stewart. As in the political areana, reporters are now using more and more opinion and editorial stuff instead of the actual news. When something of a controversial nature comes up, it always seems to be the press who decide what is right and what is wrong, instead of just going after the answers. I'm sure it won't be long before some hot shot reporter who wants to make a name for himself will try to crucify Tony Stewart. While his conduct will of course always be news, editorializing about it isn't news. It was clear to me that the guys on the track, competing with Tony have all the respect in the world for him, but for some of those in the booth, and in the garage area, they don't agree. Just as will everything else, when the press grabs hold of something, they won't let go until the outcome is to their liking.
Hmmmm, I wonder how my reporter friends are thinking of me now. Sorry guys, I tells em as I sees em.
