We made you and we can break you.

It would seem that the media will love you so long as you keep winning, but the moment you lose, even if you still finish in a respectable position that keeps you in the money, it will do everything in its power to destroy you and turn you into the villain.  Reminds me of that scene from Chicago where after Roxie says "They love me," Billy says, "They'd love you a lot more if you were hanged.  You know why?  Because it would see more papers."  Nice, guys, really nice.  Wish I could have the record of the poor guy you pounced on.  Wish there was someone to pounce on you on national television whenever you made a mistake too.
