I want the same gig for NBA Rumors. Would be a fun experience
“No discernable bias”
I think your user name disqualifies you.
He’d be writing under his actual name wouldn’t he?
After seeing more than a few stories here, I wonder how strict they really are for these “requirements”
There are places online where you can learn how to beat a polygraph test…lol.
