The You Know Who Report Strikes Again With Another SCREAMING HEADLINE POLITICAL EXCLUSIVE
Hey, folks, we were burned too many times. So we’ll pass on reporting the latest You Know Who Report political exclusive WITH A SCREAMING HEADLINE and wait until — yep — we see the mainstream news media report it in a way that suggests there is some credibility to it.
And rather than link to that site (which doesn’t need our modest links) we send you HERE to read the details.
And so we move on. As hopefully most of the new and old media will. Or will they again fall into the trap of reporting SCREAMING HEADLINE EXCLUSIVES that don’t pan out?

Romney’s secrecy about his VP may last, as he has indicated, until the 3rd day of the campaign. Maybe he should consult with Petraeus’ former boss Admiral Fallon.
I’m trying to think of the most ambitious pair in literature, and all I can come up with is the Grinch and his sidekick Max.
Oh, yes, and it was very perspicacious of you to sidestep the trap (and, yes, I had to look up the spelling).
Oops, that’s 3rd day of the convention.
“Perspicacious?” I’m not sweating.
I hear Drudge has the same source as Harry Reid.
I have long held the belief that screaming headline guy (and a good many of the pages linked to on his sparse website) is not the least bit interested in the “credibility” of the stories behind the screaming headline.
That’s because I believe the purpose of the website in question is not to provide news, credible news, links to news (credible or otherwise) or even to support a right-leaning political agenda.
I believe this because right there on the front page – indeed, the only page – of the website is a message telling you exactly what they’re after.
Scroll down to the bottom of the right hand side, and you’ll find something absent from or buried somewhere on most websites: A record of the number of “hits” or visits to the site.
Screaming headline guy actually figured out something very important about the internet a long time ago. It isn’t about flashy flash animation, interactivity, or even content. It is about how many people click on your site.
What’s right below that counter?
“Be seen!” Yes, you can run ads on screaming headline guy’s site, and have millions of people see your ad at the top of the page.
And in case you haven’t already noticed, ad space on that page is severely limited. I’m going to take a wild guess and say it is relatively expensive as well.
I am William Randolph Hearst and I approve the above comments.
