He "rules" that blogosphere as a censor, and does everything he was thaught in his "clasical media". And his posts are geared towards dimminishing the relevance of the "new newsmedia" as Blogs, forums, social networks, etc. If this guy woud once observe his blogs stats, he would see, that every day his blog is read by more people than the newspaper he is working at, has sales (per piece, not in terms of money) and subscribers per person per day.........And then mock at all the non proffesionals, who have even more visits per day than him, and they are completely "freelanced" Some time ago, i lissened to Brad Fallon saying how much opportunity is there on the web because the "big ones" just don't get the hype, and so they always stay behind. So true. best wishes, Aleš HI John,

Some time ago, i lissened to Brad Fallon saying how much opportunity is there on the web because the “big ones” just don’t get the hype, and so they always stay behind.
So true.

best wishes,

We have to keep our ear to the ground, watch for the handwriting on the wall, keep downwind from things and follow our bliss to a sanctuary of our creation.

I have bunches of your stuff. if you like Drudge, you would probably love Jeff Rense's site. Like Drudge, Rense doesn't write much, just gathers alternate information, articles, etc. from around the world. It's the biggest altnews site on the web. He is the BEST. A real American hero, striving every day to wake up the sleeping populace before it is too late. www,rense,com Hi John,

Hmm...my guess is that he might do as he please having 15 Mln visitors/day onboard? Havent seen such a circa 1996 looking site for a long long time, but you're right - it does deliver the real value.

It's about a fellow who started a junky weekly newspaper filled with nothing but the unflattering thumbnails. As they say, "Page after page, with only a few ads in between." It covers three-county distribution area and the stars are the readers’ neighbors, charged with everything from drug possession to prostitution to murder - now your mention of that guy who did the nasty with a dead deer comes handy. And that newspaper sells out each week - like, 8,000 copies weekly. I sure would be curious to see that JAIL newspaper - anybody willing to send me a copy :)? And that Drudge Report site - it sure looks, uhm, cluttered, but I'll force myself to get thru. it'd be a little bit tough for us foreigners though :) - I'm Russian - but the chance to see many points of view at one place is worth inconvinience the interface causes. Besides, it might be a good source of content - I'm going go test that "Any word(s) in article" feature.
