    Definitely would. At least worth a try.

    My view is not unjaded, but I think Whitlock is one of many onetime significant print journalists who have been drawn to electronic media, in part, because print is collapsing and has been for quite a long time. What invariably follows is being caught up in a feeding frenzy where they all end up trying to be more outrageous and controversial than everyone else. There are exceptions, I suppose, but I think trying to do what TV wants leads a journalist down a primrose path in many instances.

    Whitlock will serve as founder and editor-in-chief of the vertical that will live on TheBlaze.com. The writing platform is still in development.

    I'll bet it is.

    We know the effects of morbid obesity but Jason doesn't seem to think much of that, either.

    Hard to believe what he has become. He used to be an interesting thinker with a good sense of humor.

    The latest from Jason:

    I quoted it all because it’s all astonishing that it came from the fingers of a once-respected journalist but I had to laugh at the bolded line.

    Holy shit, I can’t think of a surer sign you’ve made some massive mistakes than having to clarify your stance on interracial marriage.

    No link because fuck that.
