From what 30a is saying, sounds like us reporters are going to be working for Kurt soon. Kurt, I love you dearly, but I would need a good check and health insurance. And could you throw in a company car, free organic English breakfast tea for my breaks, and Evamor water in the cooler?

can a small town journalist hop a plane and fly to malaysia? nyt, feel the love!

It's not necessary when web vehicles like Twitter and Blogster are providing real time news and links to video, etc.

This reminds me of conversations I used to have back in 94', running around Talahassee trying to convince business owners they needed a web site. FYI miznotebook, you'll do just fine assuming you can let go of the past and move forward. You don't have to give up the perks either.

30a, I didn't think I was sounding like anyone but me being facetious, and I'll admit I've never been great at looking into the future. But I've observed that even those who are better at it sometimes get thrown a few curves. I know I sure wish those predictions they used to make about us having so much leisure time in the future had come true!

so this is news to you? you know how to google, google it. i have a biz to run.

do you think that liberal media is going to smear liberal media-NO. and the mass majority of newspapers are liberal. oreilly exposes them almost nightly.

lets see if i can think of one that even those who watch only liberal media may have heard of. oh, remember when the nyt smeared mccain for an alledged affair with a donor on the front page that turned out to be completely fabricated? and than the retraction was buried mid way through the paper? and theres those little facts that go against their aggenda that are conveniently left out. i mean, do i honestly need to take daily records so you can see this?

my main focus is the nyt, san fran chronicle, pal beach, boston globe and many others. news isnt news for them, its a way to push aggendas hense their current financial status. and of course the internet has been a factor, but trust is everything in that biz wouldnt you say?

If we allow trolling, name calling, and personal attacks, we are no better than talk radio or the "liberal media" you fear so much. Are we "conservative" or "liberal" if thoughtful discussion is encouraged?

Gray areas are where most of life happens. Black and white is boring.
