"Newspaper editors are clearly intrigued by what's been going on in the blogosphere," said David Williams, president and CEO of TMS. "This new service will provide them with a wealth of provocative commentary from high-profile bloggers whose views seldom appear in the pages of newspapers."
ROTFLMAO! Uh, well, their views already appear EVERYWHERE ELSE besides her blog!

So they go and hire a blogger who will just respew the same DNC Talking Points their current editors and commentators put out in their Papers?? And these "Professional Journalists" wonder why we call it the Dinosaur Media?

They're not intrigued, they're scared to death because the er blogosphere is eating their lunch, literally. If they focus on leftist jerks like Huffington, they will continue to keep themselves in the dark. Of course they like the dark side.

Great, they should feature that moron from Huffington's blog who tried to contend that there was cannibalism occuring in N.O. 4 days after the storm...
Show them as the tin-foil loonies that they are...

There's no reason why Mark Steyn isn't run in every newspaper in this country that runs syndicated columns except for the fact that he makes too much sense as a conservative.
They prefer the stuffy George Will as their token conservative, but now they're searching Huffington for even kookier leftwing stuff to run.
Go figure.

Hopefully the first titillating excerpt they syndicate from The Huffington Post is the one where Airhead's boy said that cannibalism is rampant in New Orleans.
That should help cheer up their audience and get them over their depression of not being able to see pictures of the dead in New Orleans.

So now they are going to add half witted, imbecilic, leftist rants to their leftyslant news reporting and that will improve their ratings/bottom line/image because people will be drawn back to reading/hearing the same old lefty news? Nothing has changed!!!Makes the head spin at their arrogance/stupidity/cluelessness.

Isn't Arianna the one who promoted the cannibalism rumor?
No agenda there. These papers are going to intrigue themselves into even more cancellations.
