Maoften find that his sole act of changing news headlines to his own words improve the story vastly. often it adds a funny or insightful dimension.
I also find that his periodic posting of photos is highly meaningful and often has hidden meaning or makes for a double entendre.
sometimes he will post a photo for which there seems to be no story and then in one or two days there is a major story that makes the original photo much more meaningful.
In the early days of freeRepublic Matt was responsible for recruiting maybe 1/4 or one third of our total membership simply by giving one one tiny link to us.
In a couple cases I believe that we have influenced Matts reporting but it is unquestionable that he has had a huge impact on Free Republic.
Not many people realize that Matt appeared in person at the March for Justice a long time ago and he met many of our members.
I feel certain he drops in here from time to time.
