J-School Rule No. 342: Listen to speech before commenting

"Even Dan Rather of CBS News, whom conservatives have been persecuting for years as being "liberal," was taken with Schwarzenegger's very combative speech, saying he "slapped Kerry around like a hockey puck."
-Tom Shales, Washington Post
(Gov. Schwarzenegger never mentioned Kerry in his speech)

Short Cuts

Ldotter Note: As you know, this site runs on love, addiction to the news, my shallow pockets, a few ads and donations. Your dedication and dollars help us feed the bandwidth beast and buy jellybeans and Spam sandwiches for Igor and his minions and we are more than grateful. If you had planned to write a small check in the next few weeks please....do not send it here. Send it to the SwiftVets for Truth (https://www.swiftvets.com/swift/ccdonation.php?op=donate&site=SwiftVets)
We will muddle through. It's far more important that we keep them funded and their truth telling ads on the air. It is far more important that we show the self-styled "gatekeepers" of the American media that their gates have been breached by the new media and things will never be the same again. This is the end of the same-old, same-old liberal filtering of the news. Let's make that point loud and clear and permanent.
Give up a Mocha Latte for a day or two. You don't need a new lipstick. No one notices anyway. Brown bag lunch next week. Have the car detailed next month. Find any old envelope, a working stamp and send a check, $5, $10 or $20, it doesn't matter how much it matters how many and this site alone can keep them going until election day.
Do it now. It's really, really....really important. But, you knew that.
