2. IT'S ABOUT TIME! I can't understand how journalists with any integrity at

all left in their bones could remain associated with that craprag.

And there are a number of other war profiteering corporate news monopolies that real journalists need to abandon. I hope to God this starts a trend--to put the SOBs who colluded on the Iraq War and on Stolen Election II out of business. WaPo. The NYT. AP. Time/Newsweek. ABC, NBC, CNN, Faux. Et al. Our country has been made sick unto death by these corporate news monopolies, and by the 5 billionaire CEOs who own them.

And I hope that John Harris and Jim VandeHei intend REAL journalism with their new venture. If so, I wish them well, indeed. In addition to restoring TRANSPARENT elections, nothing is more needed to correct the disastrous course that this country is headed in, than real journalism.

Edit: After reading Comedy Gold's post, I realize I've given too much "benefit of the doubt" to Harris and VandeHei. More than likely, this is not a rebellion, but rather a well-funded and well-planned subversion of the work of the real journalists of the internet--an attempt to "cop" the energy and creativity of web journalism, and gain back "audience share" for the global corporate predator agenda (exploitation and slaughter of innocent people around the world). A person can still hope, though. I would love to see an exodus from these so-called news rooms of people who are fed up with corporate war monopoly news, and--whatever journalistic crimes they have committed--want to make amends and start doing an honest job.
