So is the “Huffster” out to capture local markets or is she gonna “open it up”? If she’s doing the latter than this guy here would make a great contribution as it relates to Chicago politics. Of course if you’re critical of Obama or McCain you’re also going against their “corporate sponsors”.

One great way the Newspapers conglomerates have to force declining readership might be to dull down the content with anal editors and lackluster columnists who never piss off their corporate sponsors. There’s plenty of great columnists out there including this guy, even if you disagree on some topics. I haven’t checked but I don’t think he’s in the AJC.

And then of course the REMAINING small newspapers are “saved” by other large corporations in an even more brazen show of force and “top down” corporate agenda building at the expense of real journalism and readership.

Should also point out that in addition to PeachPundit, did spend a bit of time showing them the efforts of the all-time blog master, Jason Pye.

Depends on the groundswell of support I can generate from here, probably.

Was at dinner at a friend of mine’s house tonight. He and some of his associates are putting together a new blog,

The idea is to create a news portal with blog capabilities to bring together from all sides of the political spectrum. Spacey and Erick, help the boys out where you can, they’re good folks.

Jeez
If she goes over to the dark side then what? And since when were Dems into corporate consolidation? Will this effect the content?

If English isn’t a requirement, perhaps they’ll hire you, Grayson.

Yep, we sure fit that bill! It’s just that Arianna gets on TV too. Every freakin’ day. We can only aspire to such heights of media elitism. And oh yeah, she’s a hell of a lot richer. And lives in L.A. And has a really great hair stylist. Everyone needs a role model.

HA! She’s just another liberal with with severe narcissistic personality disorder (NPD). They’re like gnats in South Georgia.

NPD is characterized by a pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the following:

1. has a grandiose sense of self-importance
2. is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
3. believes that he or she is “special” and unique
4. requires excessive admiration
5. has a sense of entitlement
6. is interpersonally exploitative
7. lacks empathy
8. is often envious of others or believes others are envious of him or her
9. shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes

I would say that by this professional criteria Aranna Huffington is a certain NPD candidate — eh, wait a minute—so is every blogger I know!

Booooring post title.

This would have been a much more interesting post to read had you titled it “Arianna Huffington Schedules Domination Appointment” and then explained the rest.

I’m sorry, but “HuffingtonPost/my name,” has NO APPEAL for me. At all.
