Countless readers read my editorials in many different websites that are Liberal and Conservative in political orientation. The general public likes and benefits from those writings tremendously as it does also from the works of others, but Liberal extremists and radicals from the extreme left understandably don’t like them, especially when their weaknesses are exposed.
Currently, hate writers of their kind, local and foreign, had invaded Liberal websites that by ordinary publication standard had started to deteriorate.
When Liberal extremists criticize writings they don’t like because their shortcomings are exposed, hate writers of their kind can only crucify but can’t write a coherent critique that does not swear or tear. Cursing with insuperable hatred, their destructive expertise cannot rise beyond name-calling. It is undoubtedly bad for their blood pressure and it is not good for the health of the nation either. Although the websites of American Chronicle and its publication network still use my name to attract Internet viewers, I am glad that the public – especially legions of inquiring fans – are now aware that I am not with this publication anymore, which I am sure many other reputable veteran journalists don’t want to be associated with, unless and until what they believed the current editorial management is changed and the publication is de-politicized from the orbit of the extreme left, sterilized of politically rabid Liberal extremists and stabilized back to normal.
The other reason why veteran journalists with a name to protect distance themselves from American Chronicle is that the publication has been invaded not only by local radical extremists whose angry writings are meant to harm others but also by questionable foreign contributors that cannot write straight English, as well as spiteful critics that could not suppress their crushing hatred of America, and their uncontrollable abhorrence of Americans and anything American that betray their clandestine if not subversive intentions.
See here as an example of acid writings, and this consuming bitterness here against Americans bared to the bone. The assumption is, those hate writers couldn’t mount their scurrilous attacks in their respective homelands like China or England because being anti-government they are under strict security surveillance. Contrast to this the fact that the United States is the freest country in the world and the enemy of freedom swims here like fish in the water.
Even captured terrorists -- in whose hands, arms and body the blood of slaughtered Americans is tattooed in the name of Islamic jihad -- expect the next President of the United States to give them equal freedom that American citizens they murdered enjoy, like privacy rights so that they can secretly plot to kill without being watched and eventually discovered, or like the right to habeas corpus so that they are free to roam the street to kill again, detonate their bombs once more and reduce buildings to rubbles. At least that is what Liberal presidential candidate Barack Obama pledged to the American public once he is elected president.
If America makes one of history’s deadly mistakes in this 2009 November presidential election, Obama, an eloquent talker who claims to be an agent of change to nowhere, will among others, close Guantanamo where murderous terrorists are confined in a prison camp, bring them to the United States as free men via habeas corpus and for those deadly creatures that swooped down on us from the bowels of the earth, happy days are here again!
Aside from turning America, Americans and the U.S. government into punching bags, atrocious grammar and incoherent articles of invading writers have become the current embarrassments of local websites typical of American Chronicle which award-winning journalists no longer want to be associated with.
To believe with your own eyes what I am exposing here for the benefit of the reading public, read this example carefully at http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/34114 , or pick up at random any poorly written article like it that appears in AC, and perhaps like me your eyeballs will pop out in a state of shock. Your head will spin with nagging questions: What kind of editors are they? Or what kind of publication is it that publishes such bobbling crippled English if not insulting daptraps?
Click on this blight to see what kind of writings is published, at http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/47577 and on this next embarrassment read sorely with tea and sympathy at http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/51169 and see for yourself the kind of writings currently being published by this online outlet that had deteriorated so badly.
I have nothing personal against those who wrote those published eyesores. I also respect other few good writers that elected to remain in American Chronicle. I am merely pointing out the responsibility of editors in running a publication [I have been in that position for years]. Just read those samples of articles I have just pointed out without any bias aforethought and be your own judge. More of these “blights” as the publication downgraded itself, can be read if one is interested in examining further, articles of that kind that are now appearing in AC.
Copy-furnished by responses to written inquiries, I discovered that the editorial responsibility of correcting or editing submitted materials to AC that are poorly written, or otherwise shouldn’t have been published because these are inimical to public interest if not a threat to national security, is thrown back to the reading public. If a reader sees some published errors, the reader should edit them … if trashy or libelous, should call the attention of the editors who are either too incompetent or too lazy to do their editorial job.
In short, unless punched in the nose by angry e-mails, members of the AC editorial staff do not perform their editorial responsibility for reasons that you and I could only imagine while our jaws drop to the floor in total disbelief!
When editorial safeguards are dysfunctional due to indifference if not incompetence, and hate writers invade a website that is too radically liberal for its own good, a rapid decline is expected.
Many of these attack publications with substandard editorial management choked themselves to early extinction. © Copyright Edwin A. Sumcad. Access The Conservative Voice February 25, 2008.
