POPS Newscorpse to begin charging for their websites Two clips combined. Murdoch has unsuccessfully forecast the death of the web. Now he has suddenly realized he was wrong and that he must change. Bit of a shock. He still has to get more people to want to read his conservative, servile crap. Maybe he could try telling the news as it happened, not with his slant on it. (His paper is in trouble again here. Let out the "terrorist round up" news before the op had begun.)

POPSBack to 'Real' journalism? My local 'rag'--The Bozeman Daily Chronicle--just upped their price to 75 cents. This is laughable because they offer only one section of 8 pages of re-regurgitated AP crap, and sometimes throw a little poorly written local news in between the ads and typos. Lately, in obvious distress, they've trimmed syndicated columns and comics, raised the price of the Sunday edition, and added an adhesive sticker ad to the front page. Maybe if they had done something more radical like actually reporting on news, they wouldn't be struggling. They have no competition in this town! Anyone want to start a news paper?

POPSLA Times Swallows for TNR Are you kidding me? "It's also not at all clear to any fair-minded reader what the telephone transcripts actually show" WHAT? After hearing their continued defense of this guy, then reading the phone transcript tells me that the TNR guys were trying to hold on to this military-bashing with every last shred of fingernail and dignity. What a load of crap from this LAT guy. Every reference to blogs and mags that tried to get at the underlying B.S. are derogatory. AND WHAT'S MORE~they still haven't retracted it. It still, after all this, sits out there like a festering, fetid load long devoid of any telltale steam. ;-)

POPSThis "Breaking News" is Broke! When the hell with the U.S. public finally grow-up? Are there no more important situations going on in the world that who sleeps with whom? I was absolutely livid as I was watching CNN's "The Situation Room" when Wolf Blitzer interrupted a discussion he was having with a political journalist to announce that Gavin Newsom has admitted to having an affair with his former campaign manager's wife. Newsom himself is divorced. These are all adults capable of working out their own problems. Why in God's name should the public give a damn about their personal marital problems? With Iraq boiling over into Iran, and the world collapsing around us, we shouldn't even be the slightest bit concerned in this kind of tabloid journalism. I have written to CNN about this, and I hope others might do the same.
