No you are not. Keep up the good work. That is all we need another info
source going over to yellow journalism...
Sad thing is that the second part about the more money is true to a extent.
People are shallow and only interested in a fight, not the truth. I do not
think they really care how the fight comes out as long as the get to see
some blood spilt...
But you have the option of the digital equivalent to what you see at the
supermarket checkout counter or truthful site.
Why do you not see say 'The Economist' at the check out counter, indeed
it is hard to find 'The Economist' in the magazine section, but in my view a
much better mag than time/newsweek and the whole bunch tossed together.
Your work in my view is like the above magazine good solid and try to get
a proper view on things.
Keep up the good fight, you will win, maybe not with the speed you
desire but you get my vote.
