It's a .pdf. Just open it and do a search for "cardinals" or whoever. The players are all listed one after each other, with explanations why they are on the list. Just scroll through. All of the players names are listed in bold to start their section.

Local TV station erroneously named Pujols
STLTODAY.COM SPORTS
12/13/2007

Contrary to a report that dominated a one-hour newscast by a local television station this morning, Cardinals superstar Albert Pujols was not named in the Mitchell report on the use of performance-enhancing drugs in baseball.

KTVI (Channel 2), the Fox Network affiliate in St. Louis, began its 11 a.m. newscast by announcing that Pujols was among the players with Cardinals connections who would be named in the 409-page report.

The station did not immediately reveal the source of its information.

Turns out, the information came from the WNBC (New York) and CNBC web sites, which late this morning "leaked" a list of players who would be named in the report.

But about 20 minutes into the KTVI newscast, the bogus list -- which KTVI said included deceased former Cards pitcher Darryl Kile -- was pulled from those web sites because a Major League Baseball official said it contained multiple errors. Kile also was not named in the Mitchell report.

KTVI did not acknowledge that the list had been pulled until late in its broadcast, and by then had dispatched a reporter to Pujols' restaurant in Westport Plaza to interview employees and customers.

I guess they thought they were going to be slick and be the first to announce it in St. Louis.

Oops.

I wonder how many interviews Pujols will be granting Fox2 this season? :lol:

No joke! I don't remember what exactly happened ca. 2000-ish, but someone at ch. 2 evidently pissed off someone on the team, 'cause Kilcoyne et. al. practically had to BEG for locker room interviews during the postseason. He'd approach guys and start talking; they'd look right through him and move on to someone from another network. It was hilarious.

From the PD report about the Pujols story:

KTVI's Smith is well aware of the changing landscape.

"You can take the safe route, one that is noncombative and not aggressive," he said. "But in today's environment, I'm not sure we have the luxury to do that. And the Fox (network) brand allows us a little more latitude. There's a certain sense of edginess and aggressiveness.

"Days like this are fun because it forces you as a journalist, and a manager, to make decisions that aren't easy. If you want to have your button-up newscast packaged with a bow, there are stations in town that do it and have been doing it for 25 years. But their ratings are going down; ours are going up. There was a time and place when stations would have been reluctant to put something on the air'' like this. "But with the Internet, sports-talk radio and cable, viewers are better served getting more voices giving context. That's what we try to provide.''

Basically this chucklehead is saying that his organization can and will print whatever they can as long as it helps ratings. They can make sh!t up, they can smear anyone and that is edgy. They have the "latitude" to be "aggressive". I have never read a more irresponsible or arrogant statement by a media person. Amazing.

I agree, but at least he's being honest about it.

News has become a joke on so many levels.

Traditional media outlets have been steam rolled by the internet. They have always been an arrogant and "clubby" group and now they are getting their asses handed to them. The result is to grasp at anything and everything that gets some perceived advantage. Once the current group of "non-users" of technology fade into the nursing home the old style outlets will be a mere grain of sand on a beach of information. Good riddance.

Um, yeah, guy, they would've been reluctant to put it on the air because it's, well, a LIE with no evidence or basis in fact behind it. Integrity's overrated anyway. :roll: Wow.

I don't think that Channel 2 is to blame. The report originated from a New York based news station and they simply rehashed what another station reported.
