"very good article" my ass. Gregory rarely writes very good articles. He sometimes writes very interesting articles, and other times very biased articles, but they're hardly very good articles.
I'm hoping he might learn a thing or two from Bali ultimate about writing articles that actually contain a small bit of credibility.
Gregory, do you write for the Patch? I think you would be very good at it, especially tracking local corruption and the like.
"melloden", I will happily answer your question about the Patch, if you'll just kindly tell me who you are. I don't feel the need to cooperate with some pseudonymous git who enjoys insulting my work. Fortunately, others can conclude that "good" articles can be written from a very biased perspective. For heaven's sake, with what do you think the op-ed page of any newspaper is filled?
Anyway, in less than 18 months of writing for Examiner, I've had over 58,000 page views. It's hard to believe that "non-good" content would be so popular.
It's OK, Gregory. If I told you who I was, you wouldn't believe it, now, would you?
Op-eds aren't news. They're more opinions that happen to be opposite the editorial page. Even
Wikipedia says so.
Also, I feel obligated to point out that 58,000 pageviews is a little over one-third of what
some article about an octopus garnered in one day. The moral is that people like reading about octopi more than Wikipedia. And no one cares about journalistic integrity when reading about octopi,
I hope.
