My british friends. A media question.

Hey all.

I was wondering if you guys have heard of a journalist named Brian Baron. I'm also wondering how credible he is.

I ask because of this (http://newssearch.bbc.co.uk/cgi-bin/search/results.pl?q=cage+fighting&scope=newsukfs&tab=news) (click on the audio/visual link). He clearly misrepresents the sport & makes it look like something out of a deathmatch movie. When he gets called on it (http://news.bbc.co.uk/newswatch/ukfs/hi/newsid_4130000/newsid_4130800/4130826.stm), he still fall back on inaccuacies, stating the Sioux Falls case as proof it's bad (Sioux Fall banned MMA using the same excuses as Boston & Taunton, Mass. i.e. The cage, loud fans, non-family event in convention center.).

What's worse is Mr. Baron compared MMA to WWE & my hometown's dreaded sport, Toughman boxing.

So what can you tell me guys? Maybe we can exchange information.

Brian Barron, is and has been a well respected correspondent for the BBC, from his reports in Northern Ireland, The falkland war and the first Gulf War, not to slam your 'sport' of choice, but I have to agree with his report and find the idea, as much as I find the idea of boxing, abhorrent.

But I still love you Roy

Well that's cool. Like I said, I'm willing to help out people to understand what's up. So if you got questions, I'll be willing to answer them the best I can. Be sure to drop them here &/or PM if ya want.

MMA isn't as brutal as people think. It's a very technical sport.
