As far as I’m concerned, a world-wide blog would have no detrimental effect as the assinine opinions of the AP or any other leaning co-op seems to want to steer opinion.
I have no sympathy for the MSM, which certainly includes the political propaganda rag called the New York Times. I find more news on the Drudge Report than I do watching cable or reading the newspaper. The only thing worse than no news is perverted news (liberal propaganda).
I have taken the task of finding for myself trustworthy sources of news. That is not as easy as it sounds. Trust is something earned, not given.
As far as New York City goes, if it can sink to the bottom of the ocean, and the world would be a better place. The Big Apple is rotten.
