I reckon these journalists are figuring that if they spout out these platitudes endorsing Progressivism, they will reap the power and the rewards that come with it, to the detriment of the rest of us. That is their big payback: spout the line, be good foot soldiers and claim your piece of the pie for being "loyal." Except their piece of the pie will be controlling the information which is what these Progressive journalists crave over everything else.

Somewhere between zip, zero and nada. I am not holding my breath for any of the major networks or newspapers to say anything.

For this argument, let us put LeBron James in the category of "brand" or "corporation." If he wants to get the most mileage out of his brand, he wants to be in the place where not only will he get the exposure and a shot at a championship. Thus his net worth of the LeBron james brand goes up.

BUT he is also a businessman and while Cleveland may have put up some impressive numbers, I am sure his accountants were showing him all the figures and in the end how much he would be taking home for LeBron Inc. did make a huge difference. How many people are in his employ? How much will his agent get? How much in taxes would he need to fork over? Will the team build around him? How much in the spotlight does he really want to be? Championship or not, the name LeBron james will have a meaning like Kobe, Shaq, Bird, Magic and any other player/brand you can think of in any sport.

If I were in his shoes, with many other factors we don't know about, I would've taken Miami, even if Chicago was an almost sure thing for getting a ring.

I just think LeBron, as a brand has a lot more going for him as a brand than a lot of athletes. he made the right decision.

I want to see a LEADER!!!! A calm, cool, collected, in-the-know, sure-of-him/herself, never-give-up-never-surrender, best-for-the-country, pave-the-way, "i-got-your-back", non-campaign-mode-24/7 LEADER!!!

This is NOT WHO HE IS!!!

Is that too much to ask? I'd given up on this guy a long time ago.

All style and no substance. I really have no idea what else she brought to the table. did she write a memorable expose'? Ask that one question which started to topple a presidency? Was she a go to person that all the young reporters looked to emulate?

All I remember are 2 things: 1) she, for some reason, always got in the first question at a press conference and 2) W pushed her back to the third row for one of his press conferences.
