If  you notice a little sarcasm in my tone it probably is because of my background.  But yes the news involves everybody most especially it does not involve me this blog is about the world around me it will still be around for a long time forever.  I'm only here for a short while.  The word journalism conjures up the notion of vast distance between nations from here where I am a fixture in  the San Francisco Bay area to places around the world places I have never seen and will probably never see.  In this respects I am the farthest removed from the  professional world of the journalist.  Then would that make me an imposture a con man or a fake?  It would if I continued on and lead you to believe I am a journalist for it simply isn't true.  I gain knowledge from reading the comments of regular every day people like you and me not just from the celebrities from what they have been reported to say.  At the present I enter this blog with the notion I may never make a dime writing but I do this because words and spoken expression are important to me inherent in my culture.  If I slip and fall I know I have imputed too much of my personal aspects into this blog I will refer to this blog as Journalism Reports.  I have no ideal how long this blog will last I am merely responding to the general thoughts of the masses the people who I talk to and read into when they post their beliefs and faith into subject matter.   For all I know this blog could end today for a very wise person told me never write anything about anyone  when the term publishing was mention.  Just how qualified must one be to  publish a blog with the title Journalism Reports?  I venture into unknown barriers far greater than I may know.  I have no experience and I could never rise up into the ranks of the rich and successful yet at this point in my life I concentrate on the impossible by proposing to write about the news stories of the day?  I should give one and all a break and be banished  this very instant if I were smart.  But I never said I was a genius.

Iraq

I know so little about the publishing world this blog is not as active as my other one I thought it would be worth my while and my readers while to keep it alive rather than let it be dormant, abandon and relegated to deletion.  Although I play different chess players from all over the world one of my last  chess playing opponents raised an interesting question to me.  His question to me was why?  My response was why what?  After all I was in a chess format not a chat room but he wanted to know what country I was from a common question in such a chess  playing format.  I am not comfortable being in places where I am out of my means but playing players in chess from different countries around the world online is within my means.  This particular  player said he was from Iraq.  I will not complicate the story but it is probably true            that America the land of the free and the brave is not so loved by other countries as much as I thought especially for what we as Americans did in going to war with Iraq.  It is true we as Americans took out Saddam Hussein.  You might wonder  how I arrive at the conclusion that  you and I did so.  I don't think I moved a finger I did not shoot the leader I never even gave it a thought to shoot the sheriff and most certainly I did not shoot the deputy.

Popular Appeal Is An Intellectual Topic?

The media type has come and gone as was often explained by a certain known talk show host. I cannot name names at this point or for that matter any point. How long this journal will last is beyond me. My other prize blog of which I devoted so much time and thought looks like it may be like a nuclear power plant in the midst of a meltdown. If I can connect with the main spokes persons of the news than I say all the better and I have succeeded to a point. But what this is is a blogger who raises interesting questions I have on my mind as it pertains to my personal point of view. I once thought my blog on chess was going down that it would die. When it does is any one's guess. Nerves Galore is still there even though I abandoned it but come back to it to see if is still there and yes I read the statistics on it. Don't read it says a more experienced blogger if you want it the blog to make money. Do I have to write about the mainstream news and hunt down or wait for that star of the news to come around before my journal can take notice? If I can I will. I will always find something to write about.

The intellectual discussion of the economy may sound drab and so remote to many of us but no no. We cannot say this. We are all involved and yes indeed we are all concerned whether we think so or not. It is the news and I wish to highlight it.
