[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 257360, member: 9240"] Let's look at it another way with regard to Thom Hogan. In this age where you make money not by how good your information is but by how many views, links and click-thrus you get, he's really no different than folks like Alex Jones, Glenn Beck, Rachel Maddow, you name it. It doesn't matter that you have your facts right, you're gig isn't about sharing information it's about provoking a response and building an audience of like-minded provocateurs and hard-headed detractors. They don't care if the reaction is good or bad, they just care that they got a reaction. If you take the time to backtrack through Hogan's litany of posts (I don't necessarily recommend it), you'll find that it's pretty much a matter of piling on, day after day, with rants and praises about the same old same old. This industry changes faster than it should, probably, but nowhere near fast enough to support a 24x7 blogosphere that wants to hear the latest on the latest. There are plenty of sites doing rumors, so he needs more. And I've already given him more thought than he's worth ... to me at least. [/QUOTE]
