As much as I see a double-standard between stringers and actual reporters,they are needed in today's world. more than half of the video you see on news channels and local news is through stringers.
With that said,I sometimes wonder if people upload Stringers articles to feed their daily crack habit. I've NEVER taken the Stringers section of the Reader as news. Take the recently uploaded story about the pool on UCSD for example. That story might affect 1,000 people at most. 1,000 people out of how many millions living here? The storie about the Asian guy robbing places is another example of stories that I see and think to myself"*yawn* old news"or"...and this has to do with the price of tea in China because?"
I watch more world news than local news only because Sandy Eggo is too boring. NOTHING happens around here. That and nothing beats Sean Hannity making himself look like a tool night after night. — October 27, 2009 12:45 p.m.
Stringers Are NOT Reader Reporters, plus Taylor Swift's Taylor Guitar, Local Blogger Silenced By Killers, Wavves Calls SD "Wretched," SDMA Fishwrap, Zappa, Weiland, Axl, Blackheart, Ms. Beatle, Halford, Mower, more

Adam-Chicago IS a very clean town but the violence that comes out of there is amazing. I survived some brutal visions in that city and the surrounding suburbs. I'll never forget some of the things I saw. I once had a psychologist tell me that I was a classic case of PTSD. He told me that if I could survive 21 years in Chicago,I could survive 4 years in prison. His analogy was:It's the difference between day camp and military school.

Not to get into a pissing match with any native Minnesotans on here but you now know the difference in Midwest states. Illinois(my homestate):Land of Lincoln. Wisconsin(where I'd rather be):Land of fat farmgirls who put out after two beers,Leinenkugel's Brewery,best cheese ever(they say God pisses in every block of Sharp Cheddar produced) and The Packers(12x World Champions). Minnesota:Land of SPAM and crappy football.— October 26, 2009 1:58 p.m.

"...and even on the front page of the Reader, none-too-cleverly disguised as "blogs." As much as I hate these fake"blogs" or BLAM as they're known,unless they're selling something blatantly obvious,they're not technically SPAM. Yes,they are annoying but it's kind of discrimintory to say"Yes,(regular Reader contributer),you can have a blog that talks about absolutely nothing but THIS PERSON can't because it might be SPAM".I doubt there can be any legal basis for crying discrimination but that fact remains to be seen. Everytime one of us goes on to these BLAMs and posts over and over SPAM ALERT! or SPAM! SPAM! SPAM!,we're creating more blatant SPAM than what we're trying to get rid of. Definition of BLAM-Using a blog to promote something. Definition of SPAM-Filling up the comments on a blog with ridiculous tihs. What ever happened to anonymously letting the Reader know about these"blogs" or.....here's a great idea! Ignore it! By drawing attention to said"blog",all you're doing is getting more people to look at it thereby justifying the entire reason behind the"blog"itself.— October 26, 2009 12:44 p.m.
