		<description>Warner, 

Thank you for covering our story, as you can imagine the Blogging on Meds demographic is drastically different than that of Newsbusters, therefore we appreciate the new exposure and we welcome your readers to check out our mindless bravado.

I mostly agree with your assessment of our latest controversy. We were too quick to publish a post describing an anecdote from a photo shoot on set with Chris Matthews and Tucker Carlson where they both said some interesting things. Our blogger wasn’t so much criticizing them or making a big deal about their specific comments as much as he was documenting a brush with two top pundits for his diary. When Gawker picked up the story, it brought heat onto the photo crew for obvious reasons. Our blogger was asked to remove the original post. So we did that and apologized for compromising the shoot because it was the right thing to do. Yes, we do understand reality as you have alleged.
There are, however, some flaws in your comprehension of what you described as our mission statement. It’s a confusing one, I admit (it was written to be so), but I clearly stated that the offense you should take is not to what we say but to the state of this f-ed up world. The economy is in shambles, governments are more corrupt than ever and there’s war and death everywhere fueling the fire.

An effort to write serious content is our goal that is why our writers travel the world, particularly the Middle East and Africa – like our lead writer Ray Lemoine, who wrote a book about his time in Iraq as one of the very few volunteers right after the fall of Baghdad. In fact, yesterday we had posts about the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (that takes away even more of our civil liberties), Hillary Clinton’s campaign, Musharraf/ Pakistan, Air Force Colonel Morris Davis and some apes. Among other topics, you wrote about us on four of your blogs, so we thank you.

Ps. you may now resume beating down the civil liberties of Americans.</description>
