Alert!

BOR is talking about the hate speech on HuffPo tonight on his show, such as that directed to Tony Snow.

Hmmmm.....of course, BOR has already slammed FR.

LOL. Just heard O’Reilly’s show talking about the millions in advertising revenue being made by Huffington. Also millions invested in the site by her backers.

A warning to websites who fudge the numbers?

When newspapers fudge the numbers

For Scott Harding, head of the nation's largest advertising buying group, the revelations this summer that four large U.S. newspapers had inflated their circulation was a stunner. The bogus circulation numbers resulted in higher advertising rates, which meant that Harding's clients - including such major companies as Sears, AT&T and BMW - had been routinely overcharged for their ads.

Since mid June, Tribune Co.'s Newsday and Hoy, Hollinger International's Chicago Sun-Times and Belo Corp.'s Dallas Morning News have admitted boosting the paid circulation figures on which ad rates are based. Instead of delivering newspapers - and advertisements - to paying customers, at least two of the publications reportedly tossed thousands of copies into trash bins and even onto dead people's doorsteps.
