So for the Red-Star-Ledger and the Boston Globe, their ratings can only go up?
How could these brilliant people get their web sites oh so wrong?
23? That is a nice "odd" number.
It was either that or 42.
Huh. Neither CharlotteObserver.com nor NewsObserver.com made the list. This is especially surprising since the N&O was one of the pioneers of newspaper web sites.
McIntyre? This is the same guy that tried to enter into a deal with FBN to provide their content exclusively on his web site.
When they declined this week, he immediately wrote another article slamming the network and claiming that they were in trouble.
I am really disappointed that MW would refer to anything someone like this would write.

I'm really disappointed that the Orlando Magic lost.
Why? You just like watching hood rats celebrate by rioting?

The hood rats would've rioted regardless of who won.

Come on, the guys just wanted $120sneakers for the deprived mothers of their babies, when they broke into that shoe store. Have a heart, the Lakers won, that was reason enough to loot and steal. ACORN rules apply once again, these are the HopeyChangey
voters, they just need more taxpayers money to face life as men.
I am surprised the Wall Street Journal was not in the top 23.
That is simply not believable.
McIntyre is a nobody and is nowhere near an authority on this subject. It is his opinion and his alone. At the end of the "article" all I can say is "who really cares what this nobody thinks"?
7:23 "who really cares what this nobody thinks"?
Sort of the same reaction we have to you. You and Mr. McIntyer should have loads in common.
Thank you again Mr. Moderator by showing us that you are just a grumpy old man that will bash on anyone that does not share your views.
And they ALL give it away for free. Prostitution would have never caught on if we gave it away for free. Gotta pay, even online.
Now bring it on. KC
The ignorance never ends. 8:10, "Mr. Moderator" hasn't commented anywhere on this thread. We may have had a visit or two from the mad hatter, and a couple of fairy princesses, Mr. Moderator not to be found.
I am surprised the Wall Street Journal was not in the top 23.

Of course they were not listed. They are owned by the people that wouldn't give him a job.
Turns out McIntyre claimed he got his information about Fox Business supposedly being in trouble from a former Fox Business Executive. The problem with his story is that it was exposed as a lie because there are no former Fox Business Executives. They've only been in business for a little over a year and no one has left.
"The ignorance never ends."
-- Not until John stops typing. (He's appointed himself "Moderator In Absentia.)
Let's not forget SacBee.com, a horrendously bad website with more bugs in its system than the test labs at Orkin.
Plus the content is as bad as the print version.

A CA poster refers to them as "SucBee" and that somehow seems about right these days.
