JohnHuang2 might then pull in some decent cash-flow for this hobby. And it would not take much from FR, as the posters making a trade of it would surely renumerate FR well-enough to sustain it.
It's a heady, but very interestng mixed world out there. And the bosses in the lamestream media have zero control over that process; it's a win-win proposition.

Puts me in mind of Rush Limbaugh's description of his show as "the long form." He is a known quantity to anyone who cares to know what he thinks; you cannot hide your own predelictions from the audience and still be interested enough to be interesting for 3 hours a day, 5 days a week.
But in the political spectrum as the old-media libs define it,if you feel the need to attach "center" to your self- described position you are not a confident conservative.

The most revolutionary effect of blogging is still a ways off. The first three generations of media are remarkably age-, race- and gender-driven. What had originally been a reserve of white males is now a region of tortuous balancing and hypersensitive massaging of unspoken quotas. The blogosphere has none of that. It is the real marketplace of ideas, where there is no barrier to entry and Ragged Dick doesn't have to sell papers for very long if he's got talent...That reference would, of course, be from the Horatio Alger "rags to riches" stories, i.e.:
JH2, haven't told you lately how much I appreciate your tireless efforts around here.
