Larry Downes VS Free Press

I just had my first article published on Tucker Carlson and Derek Hunters new site venture The Daily Caller.  The launch was yesterday and I think it has gone swimmingly.

The article is on a piece that Timothy Karr, the guy who runs savetheinternet.com a Free Press site, wrote that was just raunchy.  Not in sort of a back alley, red light district sense, but from the unscrupulous, “you’ve got to be kidding me” sense.  The piece was written to try and brush off some reporting Larry Downes had produced based on some policy perspective he had at CES, but instead of producing counter evidence to this reporting, Karr decides to attack Downes credibility.  Stay classy.  I’ve been reading Downes for a long time.  The guy is a respected journalist and he has good things to say.  That doesn’t mean he’s always right, or that I agree with him on every point he makes, it just means that if you have his portfolio it should buy you some respect to the point that just because you don’t agree with him you don’t try to throw his credentials under a bus.

This isn’t even to mention that all the people over at Free Press are socialists anyway and they should be sharing the love around.

So you can head over and see the post here.  I’ll probably repost it here in a couple of days after I allow TheDC its due.  Not like you are going to wait around for the posting here, but I’m just saying, for cataloging sake, it will be here eventually too.
