Meaning, maybe we shouldn't run this story about Michael Phelps smoking from a marijuana pipe at a house party on the front page. Let's run the story inside.
Yes, its true. Mighty Mike was photographed inhaling from a marijuana pipe at a house party while visiting the University of South Carolina. His proud sponsors, Speedo and Swiss watch maker Omega, are letting this "little" incident slide since he openly and sincerely apologized for his actions.If I were the editor of a news paper, I would not run this story on the front page of the paper. I would throw it on the inside of the sports section. I mean, so what- the Olympic hero smoked a little grass, I'm not going to exploit the poor guy.
When it comes to newspapers, editors have to be very selective on what they choose to put on the front page and what they choose to run inside. The day after the superbowl, a photo of the winning team is always on the front page of the papers, because that's what people care about, thats the big news of the day. I don't think people care as much for Mr. Phelps and his frat party slip up. Well leave that up to the Enquirer to tackle.
