Via: perrie-halpern • 6 years ago • 53 commentsTwo days ago, Jack Hicks, who has a long in radio/voice over career, (see bio here: https://www.jackhicks-voice.com), gave The NewsTalkers a shout out for our coverage of "Least Biased Media", on his podcast "The Ten Minute Morning Show".
You should try to get over and give it a listen. I am sure some of you will disagree with his calls on which are reliable sites in the mainstream media, but the show is well done and entertaining.
And a shout out to Larry Hampton. Jack is a fellow Minnesotian, from Bemidji.

Thought this was really cool that Jack gave us a shout out. I invite you all to give his show a listen to.
Yeah just a shoutout.... about 30 seconds worth .... (@ 4:28 in)
I wonder how many people it's going to draw in......
Hopefully, it will, but nicer than that is that I feel that our non-partisan site, achieved its goal. People look to us for unbiased discussion.
No matter how short, it is still a mention of this site to his listeners that may stir their curiosity to check us out even if they don't join. So Perrie has every right to be happy and excited. It is not every day that NT gets such a mention.
Yes, and being totally 'non-partisan' and treating each side as they are always equally to blame for the country's problems is important, no matter how completely outrageous and out-of-control one side may become. [deleted]
Well whats even better, he discusses the precept of the article he calls out at length.... (almost the rest of the podcast)
That is worth it's weight in advertising gold......
The feelings are that the connection to the site is lost at the end cause his main point is discussing bias, but to get the source you have to come here so you go back to the shoutout.....
Excellent!
WE are making ourselves known....
That is a great thing.....
Well, I don't see how an expression of hate fits in on this, but according to you, it does....
Oh Well......
I'm all for liberal/conservative non-partisanship, Walligator, but insanity is not a viable option that we must give equal value to. Trump is a treasonous piece of shit; enabling him is unacceptable.
Your insanity is another persons genius......
I know it's hard to take, but it is the truth....
Totally agree. Although the mention might have only lasted a short time, it is a great reflection on all of Perrie's hard work and dedication over the years to make NT the kind of place worthy of such mention.
It is also a reflection on the majority of NT Members who have been willing to do their best to help Perrie make NT the kind of site that she wants for all Members, regardless of their political, religious or cultural beliefs.
NT certainly is not just another website. It's OUR website, and we owe a a Thank YOU to Perrie for letting us be a part of it.
Absolutely Sweets!
I just hope it doesn't give her a stroke..... (mine almost did that to me)
It's nice the guy mentioned Newstalkers, but it was an unfortunate reference.
The "list" of "unbiased" news sources that he refers to, as seen on Newstalkers, is not a serious list.
It contains Alternet and The Real News, which are both heavily left leaning sites. While I may agree with the viewpoint of those two sites, they are not likely to appear on a legitimate list of unbiased sites.
He does go into alternet is not something he would consider as unbiased, nor a place he would frequent..... after that, he lists a few more that are along the same vein......
Places he wouldn't associate with....
If your into correlations, he would be alluding to this as a site that claims Liberal leaning sites are categorized as unbiased here..... (which correlates to this being a liberal leaning site albeit not as liberal as those mentioned)
But that's my take.....
Publicity is good. The details are often irrelevant.
Very true. It is not so much about what is being pitched, it's in how it's being pitched. The fact that NT was mentioned in a good light in relation to what the pod-cast was about is well served.
Short and sweet, throw out the bread crumbs to stir interest, and then let them come and check out the details for themselves. True, not everyone likes bread crumbs, but, just their being out them is often enough to stir their curiosity. And that is the best part of any advertising. (grin)
It's our 15 minutes! Woot!
Hey you missed a few others, like my live interviews on "Occupy Wall Street". But thanks for kudos!
Does anyone have a link to the list or article he is talking about? I don’t think I’ve ever seen that list here.
I've never seen it either.....
I think he might have made a mistake on the source of the list.
It was an article that ran here a while back.
Thanks!
Well I'll be damned, I guess I had seen it.....
Must be old age catching up on me....
And, has anyone heard from Marsha lately, I miss her...
Ditto
I didn't think that we could seed articles from Alternet here
Yes we can, but it is about as left as you can go.
Congratulations on the free publicity. Hopefully it will generate traffic to the site.
That would be nice PJ, and I wanted to return in kind.
I agree, Kudos to pod guy and NT/Perrie.
I have given many shout outs on twitter about this site.
You're welcome.
Sweet! How cool is that?!
Bimidji is only a couple of hours a way and one of our favorite areas to spend free time. I'm gonna have to familiarize myself with this fella's podcast. Thanks Jack for the free promotion! ...and thanks Perrie for all your good work.
Congratulations Perrie and all those who contributed.
