Latest Breaking News

Good morning.

The rules of the Latest Breaking News forum require that I link to "reputable mainstream news websites and blogs." The Wall Street Journal. is a reputable mainstream news source.

MSN is not a news source. It is a news aggregator. It takes stories from news sources and reruns them. Along the way, it strips the links to the stories' authors, preventing readers from seeing what the authors' credentials are and what other stories the authors are working on.

The authors are working people, and I like to see that they receive the recognition they deserve. Not everyone agrees with that notion. I'll leave that decision up to you.

Also, you are wrong in your assertion that you have no access to The Wall Street Journal. I can see from another of your recent posts that you have difficulty looking things up, so this is as good a good time as any to remind you of the valuable role your public library plays.

Your friendly local public library has a subscription to The Wall Street Journal. and many other periodicals through databases to which the library subscribes. Go ahead. Take a look. All you need is your library card number and a PIN. You don't even have to go to the library. You can do this online.

I hope you find this information helpful.

Have a great weekend.
