Of course! Because on the internet, nobody knows you're a-drinking a fine glass of cab sauv while typing :-)
Oh. I thought you said "books I've read" not Box of red.

if Catcus is amoebic then be very afraid.. Ascerbic she may be , but she has one of the finest intellects in the blogzone
In that case I feel that at this late stage of the year it would be appropriate to nominate CK for the "Best Use of a Bushel - 2009 Award".
IIRC a Bushel has the same capacity as a Firkin.

I love the down-to-earth attitude Kitchin has to his work. He's extremely solid.
As opposed to some others who are extremely soiled.

The whole point, I think, of the Nielson People Meters, is to tell us what is Normal rather than as a true reflection of what "normal" people watch. I don't know anybody personally who has a meter but I know of people that have one and they strike me as people that you would expect to have one.
Do you catch my drift?. It is a self fulfilling prophesy of sorts. We have the same thing with Music Charts and Box Office returns.
God forbid if the people wanted quality entertainment that doesn't fit the "tried and true" template. It is far easier to foist formulaic rubbish onto a gullible public. -

These days its the fifth estate, the blogs who are riding the white chargers of truth.
A disturbing image. And I suspect the vast majority of those "chargers" wouldn't be fit for glue.
Wait long enough and the story writes itself.

Astride wombats might be a better image!
Badgers.

Shit barnes you just dont get it.. when you are doing investigative articles you push the limits..
Which rather says that you are the one that "just dont get it"
Good investigative journalism does not need to "push the limits" Good investigative journalism is getting the facts and backing them up rather than evoking Ian Wishart with all the sensationalist drivel that tends to pose as news these days. But then you conspiracy types need all that edgy excitement I suppose.
I guess I would be a little more concerned if we were talking about a real newspaper, real eMails and an actual edict.
As for all this Blogs V MSM nonsense get over it and grow up, it all comes down to how well you do your job. Which in your case seems not very well considering you are no longer a journalist, I wonder why. -
So much for Fail Oil and Bogus Kate.

Hmm, Dy-hydrogen Monoxide anybody.
Scammed suckers.

Perhaps they should have run this past legal
"Editorial could take a more conservative approach to the subject matter and content of the risky or contentious articles."
Legal might have come back with,
"Editorial could take the more conservative approach to the subject matter and content of the risky or contentious articles." And Cameron and Kate could have gone back to whatever it is they do.
