Over the past few months, however, following the latest changes to the website of the Poynter Institute, which hosts the 57-year-old newsman’s industry blog, The Cutline has noticed a curious trend:...

Exhibit A:
You are a full blown idiot. Left wing suck-up. You speak confidence as truth in things you know nothing about. The nation has NOT seen a BC of Obama. That is the only truth you jacka@$$.
