Re: According to my counter I'm getting about 800 hits a day, but the number Alexa gave me is almost 4,000. Hmmmm . . .

An HTML page with 2 images makes total of 3 HTTP GETs to your web server, thus logging 3 requests in the log.

I loaded your web page and saw these:

1 HTML page plus the 6 images is:

800 * 7 = 7200 hits

I missed the show. What was your take on Maya as far as her motives go?

As for the bloggers forcing coverage...if MSM ever "gets it" they will realize news is what Joe Blow says is news, not what MSM spoonfeeds him. MSM thinks Joe is too stupid to understand "real issues."

Take Easson for instance. He is getting alot of MSM coverage right now. MSM focuses on bloggers and the fall of Easson. How the bloggers caused the fall of Easson is the story in their elitest eyes and frames this into a story about the danger of bloggers.

Not so, Joe Blow. Joe Blow is smart enough to see 2 or 3 stories in this:

1. Easson's original comments.
2. The refusal to release the documentation which can prove or disprove these statements.
3. MSM's refusal to reveal this to the public and even now, their refusal to focus on the real story. Deflect. Deflect. Deflect.

And while they are bemoaning the danger of bloggers, did any of them mention Gannon? (Do as they say, not as they do.)

Check out my profile page for more blood boiling. I saved a DU thread that was pulled and doesn't even show up in the Goggle Cache anymore.

The businessman who posted the first account of what he heard Jordan say at Davos had started a brushfire.

*****

In a room full of journalists, it was a businessman who said Hey, Eason, what the h do you mean? /paraphrase

Part of the stink of what Jordan said was that he appeared to think that it was common knowledge - among his journalist circle it probably was.

new word "Blog Swarm"? ....... seems to just be a word for mob.---

Bob Beckel twice angrily and lamely fumed about "The Lynch Mob Bloggers" on Hannity and Goon.

It was hilarious!

I normally refer to CNN as Al-Jazeera-East but DU-Lite also works.

Look, CNN showed your threads!


Jim: With all the legal trouble FR has had about "fair use" with the NYT, WAPO and LAT - did CNN get your permission to screen cap the FR forum and thread pages for their story?

"What is CNN?"

Communist News Network. Took over from Tass after the fall of the Soviet Empire.

"Here, too. I was amazed. He must have had no support from his food chain at all. I think he is more a victim of the ratings than anything else. This was a good excuse."

Probably fallout from the Rather/CBS story. Many people lined up with Dan feeling he was invincible and they got hung out to dry. I bet from now on anytime someone gets caught like Eason and Rather it is over quickly with a quiet resignation. The money men don't like bad press.

On occasion I visit the DUmmies but truth be told, their filthy language is more suited to the dems and the likes of Elizabeth Edwards who said that she visits often.

Dean may not be completely stupid, but he's not completely sane either.

I suspect his long suffering wife is the happiest person in the USA right about now.

He's moving to D.C. and she's staying home in Vermont.

Jordan couldn't keep his mouth shut or his zipper up.

He joins a long list of dem America haters, such as billclinton, hilaryclinton, albright, jimmycarter, and assorted other so called dems with a hatred for the greatest country on the face of the earth.

The first time I went to DU I was struck by how amateurish it was. And how tiny in comparison to Free Republic.

Do you all think if we ignored them, stopped visiting them and/or mentioning them on Freep, they'd just disappear? They are so weak and sad and insignificant.

Surely they must survive on contributions from Dem special interest groups because few of them seem to actually have real jobs. If the Republicans no longer cared about them, maybe their benefactors would pull out too. I know, I know -- that won't happen. It's too darn entertaining!

That does look pretty. DU's numbers are scraping bottom like whale poop.
Apropos. It matches their ideas.

Another good one from Smokey and the Bandit:

Sheriff Branford: "The fact that you are a Sheriff from Texas is not germaine to the situation. Let my men handle it."

Sheriff Justice: "THE G-D GERMANS AIN'T GOT 'NUTTIN TO DO WIT IT!"

I saw the little 'Blurb': They were discussing the unvetted "MISINFORMATION" and "RUMORS" passed around on the net in Blogs and Chatrooms...........all the while showing FR's page on the screen.

Slander by association.
