If he were serious, he would move back up to NYC and write for the Voice. But he can't - he's not that good. And he likes to eat.

I still wonder how Creative Loafing makes any money at all. At least people pay to read the AJC. CL is usually just given away. Do they really make that much on the ads alone?

And as for the "far right" tilt of the AJC, now you see the meaning of the "alternative" press: it's something that makes the lefties look moderate.

Bingo! The left has controlled the media so long, that far leftists like this bozo think that even full-on liberal media like the AJC is "reactionary" because they run a few token O'Reilly (who's really a populist) and Safire columns. Forget the main editorial and, more importantly, reportorial slant to the left.

I am convinced that a sea change is occurring due to new media coming to overtake the leftist slant of the lamestream media, combined with the effect of 9/11. 9/11 caused the American people to head for the party that they perceived would be effective in fighting the War on Radical Islam. But there is also a new news dynamic out there, and that isn't being discussed, because the left doesn't realize it and/or doesn't want to admit it.

We've had around 10 years of talk radio (thank you El Rushbo), and it's really going good now, and is heavily conservative. The internet (thank you JimRob) is really getting going as a mainstream alternative source of news, unfiltered by the leftists newsrooms of the likes of the AJC. And finally, we've got FNC giving CNN a run for their money.

The net result is a *lot* more voters are seeing things through a lens that the DNC did NOT provide, and this is something new since, say, the election of Clintigula in '92. It will ultimately cause a rightward shift in the reporting by the lamestream media, as those outlets respond to the market to remain money-making operations.

And I love seeing Leftists like this twerp whine about it. I love the smell of schadenfreude in the morning!

As I understand it, CL does pretty well. They sell plenty of advertising to folks who should know better, and they do make a pretty penny on the semi-pornographic personals in the back.

. . . not that I would know anything about that.
