Steroids versus Tanning Beds
by charming_weasel

What a telling story this Benoit thing has been.

All pretenses of reporting facts and treating the story with respect got viciously battered and flushed down the toilet as soon as the police handed over the steroids drum to beat on.

Makes me kind of wish it would be easier to dismiss the vacuous bombastic garbage on cable news by saying, "Well, he does use a tanning bed after all."

Just like big muscles, it's not too hard to see the tell-tale rings around the eyes. Too much sun tends to make people crazy. Too much of anything can prompt a negative outcome...side effects include reading from a teleprompter and jumping to conclusions.

The Explainer didn't really explain anything other than copy/paste gubmint warnings about what steroids will might do to a person. It's like another "Shark Week".

Too bad the Explainer doesn't get paid by the letter. If you're too lazy to spell out 'steroids' or too shallow to avoid using the 'hip' contraction, then explain why your journalism school hasn't yanked your degree yet.

Yup. And they leave out the fact that his son had a form of Dwarfism, and hey guess what's used to treat that - HGH and anabolic steroids. They won't know if he was even ON steroids until they get the toxicology reports.
