"Fresno Bee"? What's next, Lodi Weekly? Lompoc Shopper?
"B. Lafferty" wrote in message
news http://www.fresnobee.com/2010/07/30/...ills-race.html So I'm thinking, who would read the Fresno Bee except someone living in Fresno? Of course, the answer is nobody. So why would someone use a wire story from the Fresno Bee as a "news" source? The only thing I can come up with is that that somebody has a wire service "scraper" programmed to look for certain keywords in articles and collect those articles. Basically you program a robot to do your work for you. And the interesting thing about this is, instead of research, you can carefully choose your keywords so that you get results that support what you already believe. The real beauty to this is that you avoid being exposed to things you don't want to see or disagree with. You can construct your own safe world where everything supports what you already believe, and you can tell the world look, I'm right, here's proof I found on the 'net! --Mike-- Chain Reaction Bicycles www.ChainReactionBicycles.com |

Landis Gets Applause
whether Flandis is telling the truth of not, the underlying motivation
should be obvious. Like before, he's looking for acceptance and approval. When he was caught that meant putting on the deny, defend, & fight front. Complete with enlisting others in the fight. After that ran its course and didn't work out, and he's washed up as a racer and largely forgotten, what's the next approach? Switch to the other side and try to garner approval for fighting the corrupt system. It's all a game either way. If he really had integrity he'd shut up and get a regular job and just live like a regular joe.. |

And music. An algorithm computes how many times one should hear lady gaga at 2.1 times an hour and at a ration not to exceed 1.317 that of Zac Bieber In this way we call all think the same news and dance to the same music.

Of course it doesn't answer your question. Ex-lawyers are even less successful at answering a direct question than a current lawyer. They answer the question that they want to answer. BlogLapper decided to answer the question about the viewership of a news source (even though they are the same AP story picked up at different times), as if somehow that matters. I'm sure you are spot on about his web crawling. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_crawler He's so clever. What do you think his search terms are? I'm guessing: 'LANCE Armstrong doper indictment fraud boy does he have it coming!' I think I might take a page from his book and set up a web crawler of my own...let's see: 'Brian Lafferty OCD trolling douchebag' On second thought, I'd never be able to review all of those hits, so I need to trim it down: 'Brian Lafferty OCD trolling douchebag NAMBLA' That should do it.
