do you know anything about the new newspaper the Washington Examiner? we actually have it appear in our driveway, free of charge. from what xshub said it is backed by someone with $$$, does not sell ad space, and is given away free, but based on a demographic study of zipcodes. I heard Bill Sammon say somewhere last week that he left the Wash Times for the Wash Examiner, otherwise i might never have taken the paper out of the plastic bag and would have tossed it directly into the recycling bin in the garage. WHY did he go to this paper?

I noticed that and wondered if it was a mistake or if it was a new phrase I wasn't aware of. LOL

I'm really hoping the term, "Journalistic Fraud" starts being used liberally (pun intended).

I've never believed a word from Jerry Rivers! He's still looking for Al Capone's Vault, as far as I'm concerned!

You are exactly right. They treated this stupid video the other night as breaking news as well.

My mother always taught me "hate" was a strong word you never used, but sorry Mom I HATE the US MSM!!! It's obvious they enjoy destorying a Man and boy they are doing a good job at it.

These talking heads are repulsive, they slant the news and then poll the slant to make news, bunch of perverted snakes.

The Washington Examiner is a daily newspaper published in Washington, D.C.

The newspaper was formerly distributed only in the suburbs of Washington, under the titles of Montgomery Journal, Prince George's Journal, and Northern Virginia Journal. Their parent company, Journal Newspapers Inc., was purchased by Philip Anschutz in October 2004. On February 1, 2005, the paper's name changed to the Washington Examiner, and it adopted a logo and format similar to that of another newspaper owned by Anschutz, the San Francisco Examiner.

The newspaper is supported entirely by advertisements and is distributed free of charge. It is printed in a "compact", sometimes referred to as a tabloid, format, but is not a "tabloid" in the pejorative sense. The Examiner covers world, national, and local news and sports. The Examiner's executive editor is Vivienne Sosnowski. The newspaper employs news services, syndicated writers, and a number of (mostly local) freelance writers. The newspaper has a small staff, with about four reporters for each edition (Virginia, DC, and Maryland).

John Wilpers, the Examiner's first editor-in-chief, resigned in December 2005. His departure was unexpected, and it followed a number of other shake-ups on the newly-launched tabloid's masthead. The Virginia editor also left in December 2005.

i saw that, but it doesn't explain why Bill Sammons jumped to that paper. yes they are probably paying him a lot of $, but it really doesn't look like it can make a go of it.

By the way, we've decided to take a trick from the Dems playbook, and have stopped going to movies. Why subsidize an industry devoted to pressing the hard left Democratic agenda? Anyone agree with this? If you do pass the word....

Sammon was truly awesome last night. His comments should be played over and over again. AP has just shown its MSM stripes for the whole world to see. Lying sacks of (very bad word.)

Breaking news is anything that disses Bush and our troops.
