Okay. I understand what you are saying, but I think it would be wrong NO MATTER WHO it is (Barry Bonds, you, a random stranger,etc). When Paris Hilton or one of those "high profile" stars gets into trouble, we don't have to watch the video of them getting arrested. I do think it is necessary for the public to know it happened and even to know what his reaction and punishment is. However, there is no reason for the video to be shown. That is the only part of this I take issue with. It just seemed in poor taste. I still respect you and channel 4 and will continue to tune in, but I just feel that you all need to know that this choice, to air the arrest video, was in poor taste.

Airing the Tony LaRussa video was definitely overkill. The followup could have very easily been reported without the video. It seems that local television stations have succumbed more and more to tabloid journalism. If you are trying to be more like a local version of 'Entertainment Tonight' or other shows like it, you have succeeded. As for airing other people in the same situation, I think that is also the wrong thing to do. Reporting without sensationalism is a rare thing these days, but it would be refreshing to see.

Thank you for allowing me to comment.

I think it was wrong to air it. I think if you are going to air someones dirty laundry you ought to do the same for everyone. Don't just air ir because they are high profile. That is unfair. I have some folks I would like their dirty laundry aired but you skip over them and air Tony.

I first met you when you and Julius competed,and I must say you did well in St.Louis,rightly so.
As far as LaRussa, Iam one that thinks he has overstayed and created turmoil with the team,his personal opinions are reflected in his many unreported "spats" with his players.
His DUI SHOULD BE reported,and aired and I think it will show a deeper problem that Tony has in the up coming year.HE HAS NO RESPECT !!!!
