So I choose for my showpiece a blogger who has just now, after months of looking like a dubious rumormonger, been proved absolutely right.<BR/><BR/>Yeah, I could do that.

The main reason many of us now get our news from someone other than the MSM is because the MSM is blindly devoted to parroting the administration's line; providing false "balance" by presenting dissenters to everything, regardless of how few or wacko they are; and pushing celebrity "news" that most of us don't even want to read, according to studies. <BR/><BR/>It's a bit disingenuous for someone like Helen Thomas to write an entire book taking the White House Press Corps to task for abjectly failing to report the truth and in the same book say that calling bloggers journalists is absurd. It's worse for prominent pundits who have been 100% wrong for years to deride bloggers who have been right. <BR/><BR/>If the mainstream press were doing their job, bloggers wouldn't have to.The Ridger, FCDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01538111197270563075noreply@blogger.com
