The career of boxer Muhammed Ali/Cassius Clay and the news media's sale pitch for this mediocre heavyweight fighter is a perfect example of the falseness of the blatant news media sell of the product they are ordered to sell. They do it in much more significant areas, such as their unrelenting sell of Obama, but the fraudulent sell of mediocrity Ali as the 'greatest of all time"--by newsmen who never had a fight with their own sister--is a perfect example of the news media as the selling agent. In the real world Ali struggled with and was beaten by a number of far less than great fighters. Ali lost his his title to a novice who only had 7 professional fights--Leon Spinks. If Jack Dempsey or Joe Louis had done that, they would be remembered as a laughingstock--and with good reason. But they never did. How did the news media handle Ali's loss of his title to the 7 fight novice? They said it was further proof that he was the "greatest of all time" because he 'regained' the title in a return fight where Spinks was drugged up on cocaine and left for the ring without his basic equipment--he had go to back to the dressing room area and borrow a sweaty low blow protector from lightheavyweight Mike Rossman, who had just fought. Spinks' main cornerman left the corner and walked out of the arena after six rounds, saying later that the fight was an obvious fix and he wanted no part of it. Spinks, who fought Ali in two 15 round fight without ever being hurt, was knocked out in the first round in his very next fight by a South African fighter. Ali's news media made no connection between the two. They sold Ali as their greatest of all time for struggling with Spinks for a total of 30 rounds. But they never called the fighter from South Africa who knocked out Spinks in a a single round the 'greatest of all time." Your comment about "excuses" is the way the news media sells its products. Along with the accusation of racism at any mention of the failings of the product--whether it be Obama or Ali. Most of the fighters who beat Ali were black, yet the racist accusation comes as soon as you mention any of those fights. Joe Frazier knocked Ali flat on his back. The news media's stock answer for that is "but he got up." The news is vicious in working to protect its product. When Joe Frazier beat media darling Ali, Byrant Gumball, as editor of Black Sports magazine, wrote an article titled, "Is Joe Frazier a white champion in black skin?" Here Bryant Gumball's darling Ali takes a rest just after getting clobbered by Joe Frazier's left hook. Ali practices his limbo dancing just after getting hit by Brant Gumball's "white champion in a black skin" Joe Frazier. Ali knocked down by 185 pound Henry Cooper
