Video: Steven Slater's Escape Caught on JFK Surveillance Camera

Forcing folks who wish to see an advertised video to go to a blog is messed up. The blogger didn't make the video. Why not just post a link to the video? Unless one just wants blog hits

B as in B. S as in S.

Did going to hot air rather than the NBC affiliate page require anything whatsoever from the reader? Personally, I'm happy to give Hot Air, and any of the bloggers that you relentlessly pursue like some kind of five year old captain Ahab, my clicks.

And if a good right leaning blogger that produces a good product uses the Bloggers and Personal section to promote themselves, and perhaps gain a following without inconviencing anybody in the slightest, what exactly is the problem again?

If I follow a blogger provided link I amost always go to a page where a video is framed and ready to play, often with entertaining comentary on the same page.

If I follow your childish public service link, I get to go strait to Youtube for the exact same thing, except for the F bombs that always accompany any Youtube page.

So how dense does one have to be to realize that your service is just the annoying prank of somebody that can't think straight. Somebody provided a service by finding something readers might find interesting. They used the correct section of FR to share it, and perhaps promote their venture in the process. Who, other than a very small minded and vindictive little twerp would make it their life's mission to embarrass himself on an hourly basis over that arrangement?

It’s not a blog.

There is never any commentary and they never participate in discussions regarding their own posts.

The rest of pay for the privilege of keeping the lights on around here and it is seriously doubtful that any of these so called bloggers support FR.

In fact, they couldn’t participate in any discussion as they have no original thought, ever.

They copy and paste their “blog” here for the sole purpose of getting hits on their site.

They are not aggregators either, as the only thing being aggregated are cookies originating at their fake site.

There is no product at their site.

There is no opinion at their site.

There is no commentary at their site.

They are thieves of intellectual products and steal from FR for their own self aggrandizement. Whatever that might be or however they define it.

Really, I don’t get it. If you have a blog, say something smart and relevant.

They are not promoting a venture in any way shape or form. It is junk posting, period.

Why is they don’t post the link to the original, which contains all the original wording, instead of making it look as if they wrote something clever, which they are not capable of.

If this is such an annoying prank for you, no one is making you read our postings nor are you under any obligation to respond.

You could be a blogger as you can at least write original thought.

Guys like this can never be a blogger as they only plagiarize, word for word, other peoples products.

It seems Hot Air pundit doesn’t macth your description of the type you target. It is indeed a blog and indeed and an aggregator (interesting links all over the page). The other day you went after Britney Bounds, who provided lots of thoughtful commentary along with the video she was discussing. It seems to me that you attack any link at all that contains video that originates elsewhere, with no regard whatsoever for the quality of the content at the link. You even asserted that blogs are scary places where viruses lurk. Your explanation for your goofy vigilanteism doesn’t wash.

I see what the problem is here.

He favors HAP and is actually not a blogger. HAP is just his favorite resource for posting.

I looked through the frontpage of HAP and then through all of talkradio’s postings and gets his posting for material from HAP.

Okay, he is not a blogger, but a poster.

I concede, you win.
