Smerconish used to be a conservative talk radio guy in Philly.

I listened to Smerconish when he was just getting started, for years his schtick was to throw out some issue and pretend he didn't know which side he came down on and ask the callers to weigh in. By the end he'd pretend to get enlightenment and be convinced to the conservative side. Then he read the tea leaves in 2008 and decided the country was going massive shift to left and he jumped in with both feet. He endorsed Obama, mocked Sarah Palin mercilessly, and gave the finger to all his conservative listeners. Then the tea party happened ending whatever lefty uptick there was and he was left dangling in the wind with no audience.

He's a fraud and a phony.

Who, what, where, when, why and how. Sports writers are the worst offenders. I’ve read stories when the game score is not mentioned until the fourth paragraph. All six should be in the first paragraph.

Quite a shock this was on CNN. It was wonderful to hear all of the accomplishments of this past year under President Trump. The list is impressive.

Yep. I took a journalism class in high school and that's the very first thing they taught me.

Lead paragraph.

Oh. Double ooops. I have a tendency to just send posts to the last post. I’ll get the hang of this internet thingy one day.

to not get infuriated at

I have a hard time getting infuriated at any postings. I like to save my infuriation for people that come at me ugly.

It's best not to wake the dragon.

“Trump-hater Smerconish is raising alarm about Trump’s evil.”...

Very strong evidence that they fear Trump and, like all demodummie types will use any means to disparage Trumps obvious successes. God Bless President Trump!

Your post is total BS.

I’ve been on this sight for almost 20 years and this could be one of the worst posts ever!

...just kidding.

Keep posting and Merry Christmas!

When I came over from the Fox News BBS (shut down due to vitriol), I carried that hand to hand combat attitude over, posting vanities left and right. That did not go over well.
Got my @aa handed to me until I learned the ropes.

Your doing much better than I ever did.

Depends on the professor and also what kind of story.

Here is one of many links doing a 5W and journalism search. A number of H’s showed up. I’d say it is preference, Many times we know how a man was killed and not WHY and vice versa.

Don't I wish! LOL

No, I'm afraid we're just good Samaritans, helping our fellow Freepers.

Merry Christmas!
