Out of all the blogs out there, they feature this?
"For many, her blog makes 'Idol' complete" by Joanna Weiss, Globe Staff | April 28, 2009
BROOKLINE - Blogging "Idol" hasn't made Santilli rich, but it has certainly made her someone....
No, none of us are getting rich of it! Anything but!!!!
For the past year or so, after leaving her job as a computer engineer, Santilli has been tending the website full-time with the intensity of an entrepreneur, providing show recaps, streaming video, news updates, and spoilers of every variety, working until the wee hours on the nights when the show airs. (Last Tuesday, she got her website running swiftly.)
With the recession's toll on online ad revenue, and no other source of income, she realizes she'll soon have to get another job. Meanwhile, "Idol" consumes increasing amounts of her life. She now writes regularly about the show for the New York Post and does a weekly post-"Idol" streaming audio chat with an MTV personality. She has become known for breaking news about the show, from big surprises - she beat the mainstream media this year....

Well, THAT is NOT SUCH a HARD THING TO DO!!!
We ALL are BEATING the LYING, AGENDA-PUSHING MSM!!!
The proof is in the numbers!!!!
US newspapers, already squeezed by falling advertising revenues, suffered steep circulation declines in the six-month period ended in March, with both The Boston Globe and Boston Herald taking large hits, according to a report released yesterday....
Yeah, I'm SPOTTY NOW!! Some days I buy it, some days I don't, and when the price goes up, I will be buying it even less -- if at all. Truth be told, I don't even like reading them anymore. I'm sick of shit-shoveling bullshit and agenda-pushing propaganda passing itself off as news.
Nationwide, daily circulation of 395 newspapers in the survey fell an average of 7.1 percent from the same six-month period a year earlier, according to the bureau. That's nearly double the rate of decline from the March 2008 period, when daily circulation fell 3.6 percent. And while there were some bright spots - The Wall Street Journal posted a slight increase - most metropolitan dailies experienced significant double-digit declines.
"The trend is negative," said Ed Atorino, managing director of New York-based Benchmark Co. and a media analyst. "It's not going to get any better, and it's only probably going to get worse. Internal declines are only going to get worse as the Internet continues to siphon off young readers."
Among the country's largest papers, daily circulation at USA Today fell 7.5 percent. At The New York Times, daily circulation fell 3.6 percent and Sunday dropped 1.7 percent. The Los Angeles Times fell 6.6 percent daily, and 7.5 percent Sunday. Many regional newspapers fared even worse....
Who gives a fuck? I hate jewspapers, I mean, newspapers now and am tired of their fucking whining! Maybe if you didn't tell so many shit lies I wouldn't be so harsh!
The Wall Street Journal's numbers went up in part because of increases in paid subscriptions to its online version.
I'll never pay for on-line newspapers!
Atorino and other analysts cautioned that the latest circulation declines, while jarring, are also a bit misleading. Many newspapers in recent months have intentionally cut circulation, eliminating delivery in far-flung areas where the cost of getting the paper there was greater than the revenues generated.
The Boston Globe not on my corner store newsrack? What will I ever do? Pffft!
"If newspapers can reduce their weaker, less profitable circulation, it can give advertisers a better idea of who they're reaching," said Tom Corbett, an equity analyst who tracks media for Chicago-based Morningstar Inc. "It's a smaller audience reached, but you can argue that it's a better audience reached. And it also helps a newspaper reduce costs."
Robert Powers, a Globe spokesman, said in a statement yesterday that the newspaper's recent circulation losses "were the result of price increases and scaled back subscription discounts."
Yeah, they are noticing my failures to purchase.
Last year, the Globe raised its newsstand price to 75 cents, from 50 cents, and the company has announced another increase that's effective next week.
Bye, Globe!
In the city zone, the newspaper will cost $1; it will go to $1.50 outside Greater Boston. The newsstand price of the Sunday Globe will rise to $3.50 in Greater Boston and to $4 outside the region. The Globe is expecting to gain $20 million from the price increases, including a soon-to-be-announced increase in home delivery rates....
After they said they wouldn't raise home rates!! Everything in their pages is a lie, folks -- and I am tired of them. How 'bout you?
The circulation declines do not mean fewer people are reading the news. Newspapers report healthy surges in readership at their online sites. But many don't charge for online content, and newspapers have not figured out how to generate enough money from their websites to compensate for what they're losing in print revenue.
Here's a hint: STOP LYING!! Look at 'em! We got readers, BUT....!!!!!!!
Tom Fiedler, dean of Boston University's College of Communication. "So the overall readership of the journalism being produced by newsrooms could be as healthy, if not healthier, than ever."
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!!!!
Then WHY the F*** are they CRATERING, idiot?
You think we will believe anything, don't you?
