Blog pimping is most unattractive.

The Weather Channel has fake news.

Even local weather and local news Fake, Fake, Fake.

They lie, twist, bend, all with a straight face.

Fake Fake Fake.

I play a game, I point out all the fake news as I watch. If you play, keep anything throwable away from your reach.

It’s not appropriate to call this “blog pimping.” If you think it is, you don’t know what a blog is. IBD is a respected news publication that has been around since 1984. An editorial from Investors Business Daily should rightfully be considered as respectable as an editorial from the Wall Street Journal.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Investor%27s_Business_Daily:

“Entrepreneur and stockbroker William O’Neil founded the newspaper in 1984 due to frustration with the lack of data about stocks in newspapers.[2] In 1991, the publication’s name was changed from Investor’s Daily to Investor’s Business Daily.[5] In 1994, ten years after its founding, IBD was ranked among the fastest-growing newspapers in the country.[6]

“In 2005, the political cartoonist Michael Ramirez joined IBD. In 2008, Ramirez won his second Pulitzer for editorial cartooning while at the company.[7]

“In 2015, the IBD website was accessed by over 4 million monthly visitors.[2] In 2016, it was announced that the company would change its printing schedule to once a week, but continue to publish new content to its website daily.[1] In May 2016, the first issue of IBD Weekly was published while the media outlet continued to publish new digital content daily.[4]

“During the 2016 presidential election in the U.S., IBD was one of two polls that consistently showed Donald Trump in the lead. Leading up to the election, IBD’s poll was correctly dismissed as being an “outlying survey” and in the end missed the final popular vote tally by four percentage points in Trump’s favor.[8][9]”
