    Sorry Alex, I don’t want to get wrong with you, but all the links you’ve posted come from within the BBing community. Any closed community can become an echo chamber – politics at both ends of the spectrum are typical examples.

    You’re not wrong with me, relax. 😉 😆

    But let me understand you correctly, you’re saying that because a news item is not reported by the mid-stream media complex – ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, FOX etc – but has been bypassed to alternative sources its not a legitimate story?

    The subject of bodybuilding is such a fring interest to only a tiny percentage of the public that the first pliace I would expect issues effecting it to be reported on would be at those on-line outlets related to bodybuilders.

    Ah Alex, no, not the mainstream outlets, but, in this era of alternative news sources, many of which cover unusual stories such as this, I’d have hoped that some source outside of the BBing game would have covered it. For example, if, as the writer of the link you posted claims, the Swedish government and media are rabidly anti-BBing, wouldn’t we expect one of their newspapers or news sources to be gleefully reporting this? :huh:

    Does everyone have me on their ignore list or something? That wikipedia page I posted has plenty of non-bodybuilding related links on it. Also, that Swedish page containing photos and videos of Toney Freeman’s arrest wasn’t bodybuilding related either. I think it’s time you guys started doing your own research. Just because it’s not reported on the evening news doesn’t mean it didn’t happen!

    No more then would expect them to be reporting on, even when its in their own best interest to do so when it concerns the issue of freedom of speech and of the press, about a certain American radio talk show host who was wrongfully banned from Britain.

    If you haven’t, read what Reason and fasola have posted on the topic of this thread.
