Did you guys loose your jobs in circulation for tippling during the holidays, is that why you’re so bitter? Woe to world if it must rely on blogs for news. It’s hard not to see newsblogs as anything more than self aggrandizing nonsense. Why not spend time investigating how bloggers are under no legal requirement to report FACTS. I fear the media’s demise will come not from the Gatehouses of the world but the demagogues who package their opinions as fact and who will say anything for attention(advertising dollars). BTW note in a SEC 13sd filing 11/19 East Peak partners increased their ownership of GHS from 7 to 10 percent as the stock was dropping. Wonder why?

which try to represent truth with no legal requirement to print facts.

Mr. Francis (may I call you “Al?”): Which radio station was this, BTW. I had heard and reported rumors of changes a week or so ago.
