"Psuedo"-Journalist?

A journalist is a person who practices journalism.

Many people consider journalist interchangeable with reporter, a person who gathers information and creates a written report, or story.

However, this overlooks many other types of journalists, including columnists, leader writers, photographers, editorial designers, and sub editors (British) or copy editors (American).

She's still a hoot. Always fun for us. Witness this thread.

I'd say I am a libretarian

Spelling excepted, when has that phrase ever not been cover for
"I'm actually a total a-hole..."?

who's favorite republican is teddy roosevelt..

I'd suspect you are either a child or someone for whom English is not your first language. And someone who doesn't understand the nature of Teddy's presidency.

It was on Rush Limbaugh.. Rush was proud that Gannon used his attribution of "soup lines" to Harry Reid - which rush said later ON THE AIR Harry Reid never said..

I'm sure there are enough other ditto heads who can verify this

[AppyPappy]

Witness the election. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

T.R. is also McCain's favorite president what does that make McCain?

journal

c.1355, "book of church services," from Anglo-Fr. jurnal "a day," from O.Fr. journal, originally "daily" (adj.), from L.L. diurnalis "daily" (see diurnal). Sense of "daily record of transactions" first recorded 1565; that of "personal diary" is 1610, from a sense found in French. Journalism is 1833 in Eng., likewise from Fr. (where it is attested from 1781).

"Journalism will kill you, but it keeps you alive while you're at it." [Horace Greely]
Journalist "one whose work is to write or edit public journals or newspapers" is from 1693. Journalese "language typical of newspaper articles or headlines" is from 1882.

If a political strategist can't "control" policy, then there would be no such thing as a politician!

How OLD are you?

[AmishDude]

To be fair, even though people mentioned he was a freeper, I, for one, did not know that Jeff Gannon posted under his own name. It is not unacceptable not to have pinged him.

And please watch the language.

[Miss Marple]

Well, your definition of fun also is a bit different than mine.

To me, "fun" is watching the President trounce the press in a news conference. I don't get much enjoyment from this thread, which is attempting to destroy a man's reputation and chortle over the left's success in removing a voice in opposition to them.

[PilloryHillary]

there were a whole bunch of internet rumors that the owner of his site was the same owner as many other sites with less than wholesome sounding names...

Care to explain this comment?

[Ramcat]

"I thought fer sure that Murrymom would have moved to Canada by now. I guess she couldn't clear security...."

Mom lives near Pittsburgh and to move to Canada she'd have to cross a bridge.

Good to see MurrayMom is still out there.

[AmishDude]

I've noticed recently that people like Armstrong Williams have been "elevated" to the level of journalist. I suppose it's a convenient label.

[trisham]

What fake quote did he attribute to Dingy Harry? Post it right here and now, with a link to a credible source. You don't get to just throw out baseless charges designed to impugn someone's character without proof around here. This isn't your beloved liberal media, and none of us is Dan Rather.

Another thing, when you smear a person's character, the least you can do is show him the common courtesy of pinging him to the thread where you're flinging your shit. Since you couldn't be bothered, I've done so.

**************

Excellent points. Thank you.

[ReadTheFinePrint]

I heard the "soup line" comment on Rush Limbaugh...

How do you post an audio?

[prairiebreeze]

What goes around comes around, doesn't it?

Yes indeed. That's what keeps smacking you and your kind up your collective heads and backsides too.

[AmishDude]

I suppose that would make McCain a "Progressive Republican" or possibly a "Bull Moose Republican". Actually, I think the kind of Republican McCain is certainly starts with "Bull", but since I just chastised CFC__VRWC on the use of that word, I won't use it myself.

But I would probably respond to others right now, if I were you.

[Tribune7]

MurrayMom is our pet lib.

[ISonnet]

You're really digging for scraps of "good" news aren't you? How'd that election work out for you?

Are you looking forward to four more years of conservative policies?

On the bright side, Howard Dean will bring the rational balance your side needs to get back on top. All they need to do is win back the White House, the Senate, the House, majority of Governors, undo all the "damage" done by the judges Bush will get through this time and oh yes, a Supreme Court justice or two (or three!)

But they took down one obscure columnist.

Hey, its a good start....

[prairiebreeze]

MurryMom has been banned or suspended at certain times in the past. She's also so full of it that it leaks out of her eyeballs.
