Scott Yost of the Rhino on 98.7
Scott Yost of the Rhino times was on the 98.7 radio's "The Wicker Show" this morning and I thought he made a good account of himself based on what I heard.
You have to remember, I read the Greensboro blogs, I read the Rhino times, but since I don't actually "sleep" in Greensboro the political goings on aren't as important to me. When I read about things political in the blogs there are a few blogers I trust to tell it like it is exactly how they saw it. When I read about things political in The Rhino Times, I have come to think of it as an old fashioned printed blog. Something happens, a Rhino reporter was there, they reported it exactly how they saw it. This has much to do with the fact that if I read something in the Rhino, half of the bloggers who talk about the same thing agree with the Rhino's report and half saw just the opposite. Or to put it another way, half of the bloggers see someone like Scott Yost as an honest journalist, and the other half see him and anyone else with the Rhino as some great and horny demon spouting lies from his backside. Hearing him on the radio gave me an opportunity to form my own opinion.
I didn't get to hear it all though which makes me sad, Sara has a long standing ban on any '70's disco songs featuring falsetto, so the Bee Gee's song in the middle of the interview meant that I could not switch back to 98.7 until she was good and out of earshot.
I am glad listeners like myself got the opportunity to hear him speak for himself as a guy and not as a reporter (or lie farting demon from the neither regions.)




Comments
I had fun on 98.7 and thanks for your comments. I will say this in regards for the Rhino: I certainly do have my way of viewing the world, but I make sure that I don't print anything with my name on it that's not true, and say what you will about any othes writers for us past and present, but I do my best to be fair to both sides, and I finally have enough clout that if I don't like additions or changes by Hammer, I either take them out, or, as a last resort, I say take my name off of the article.

Wow Woody.
That is one of the most carefully composed neutral blogs I think I've ever seen you write!

I don't want to look like I am siding with the liberals or the conservatives. It is important that they both hate me equally.
