Blogs Offer "Honest to God" Truth

Not all of them of course. But if readers are willing to look,
somewhere there is a blog telling the "honest to God"
truth about every single important issue.

Because they are beholding to no one,
blog reporters have the freedom to tell the truth.

Newspaper reporters and broadcast journalists
do not.

It is not they who decide which truth will be told.

It is the Tommy Langs, and the Michelle Donaldsons
of the world who dispense the truth according their
personal agendas.

Do bloggers have personal agendas? Of course.

But because there are so many bloggers,
all of the agendas , the honest and the dishonest,
are on the table. The truth is there to be gleaned.

All readers have to do is to discern the wheat from the chaff.


Start by asking tough questions;
that's what post comments are about.
Bloggers will answer your questions because
their credibility is at stake.

Publishers and media moguls
won't take questions at all,
for the same reason.

If you ask me why I am covering the ethics and accountability scandal in the leadership of the APS,
I will tell you why.

If you ask Tommy Lang, Michelle Donaldson,
or any other media power broker why they will not cover the APS ethics and accountability scandal,
they won't answer the question at all.


... separating the wheat, from the chaff.

FYI
NEW AIKEN COUNTY school Superintendent (Elizabeth) Everitt will "evaluate ... how teachers decide whether a paper is worth an A." Either a teacher knows how to evaluate a student's paper or she doesn't. And if she doesn't, why did she get hired in the first place?
