Being a contracted reporter he can choose what he wants to report and what he doesnt. He chooses to report the good side of baseball. There are plenty of other people who only look at the negative (Jay Mariotti) side of baseball. Again, he is an independent contractor--he can report on what he wants. He isnt obligated to report every story.
