It was the resurrected `Happy Gang' at canadafreepress.com yesterday. For the second time in a month, CFP made it to the Drudge Report!
This time it was Northeast Intelligence director, terrorism expert and our favourite gumshoes Doug Hagmann, who got us on Drudge.
an email soon followed from the producers of Savage Nation, Michael Savage's popular radio show, and Doug's interview can be heard here on the CFP site.
That was just for openers. The day had started off with CFP associate editor arthur Weinreb's second interview on Cjob.com, also posted to our site.
On Michael Savage's website, there was CFP columnist Lee Kaplan on the top of the page on the right and Doug's and my double byline story, Have you seen them, top left.
The double byline story included the pictures with identifying names of the 11 Egyptian students who went on the lam from New York's John F. Kennedy airport on July 29.
at last count, six of the missing students are now in custody, one having been caught yesterday at Chicago's O'Hare airport. The up-to-then aWOL Egyptian student was allegedly yelling and screaming at an airport clerk, all for questioning him why his ticket read from New York to Montana, while there he was at the counter in Chicago.
as Doug stated on the Savage show, no media outlet save for CFP would run the pictures of the missing students, although he had tried to get the pictures carried by the mainstream media.
Worse, in the name of Politically Correct, until very recently the FBI did not even send the pictures to local authorities.
Savage fans can imagine how this was viewed by the feisty Michael S.
When it comes to making it to the big sites, CFP has lately been on a roll.
a column written from the heart by yours Truly about the irrepressible and rascally Rush Limbaugh made it twice to the Limbaugh website. (also)
CFP is proudly posted consistently to reputable Internet sites such as Lucianne.com and FreeRepublic.com.
But to all of us, nothing could be more gratifying than the outpouring of letters from John & Josephine Q. Public.
It warms the heart to get it in writing that many average people do not march to the goosestep of politically correct advocates, or are swayed in the least by self-serving Democrats in the U.S. and the out-of touch (and mercifully out —of-office) Liberals in Canada.
When canadafreepress.com was in its non-organic salad days, it would never have made it without NewsMax.com, who picked up many of its cover stories.
Three days later, never a morning goes by without my checking Drudge and NewsMax to keep abreast of the news.
Being up there with the Internet giants matters most because it gets our message out in a day when the mainstream media demonizes anything right of centre and gives the truth a back seat to doctored photographs.
The writers of CFP stand tall in telling it like it is to an ever-increasing reading audience.
Like the song says, Looks Like We Made It.
"What a day!" associate Weinreb said to me when letters to the editor tipped us off that we were on the Drudge Report.
as CFP office manager Brian Thompson and I sat intently tuned in Michael Savage and heard Doug say that CFP was the only site to run with the pictures of the aWOL Egyptian students, it came to me "This is a proud CFP moment!"
