Was just checking in from vacation land and learned the sad news that Volunteer Voters is no more. Today was apparently Kleinheider's last day [1].

I pretty much disagree with ACK's libertarian leaning right-wing politics, but as a media paid blogger he generally gave all points of view equal time. And if there was something going on in Tennessee politics, Kleinheider was all over it before anyone else. Over a short period of time he developed some pretty good sources, which is why Volunteer Voters was arguably the best political blog in the state of Tennessee.

The mainstream media corner office morons never cease to amaze me. Their business is changing, but some of them are too stupid to figure out how to change with it. Selling internet ads isn't rocket science. Kos gets $15K per week for his premium ad spot, and he doesn't even have a sales staff.

Kleinheider built a valuable brand, and WKRN flushed it down the toilet. The WKRN idiots in suits must have been out getting high and playing video games the day they covered branding in Marketing 101. And it's not the first time this has happened over there. The sad irony is, Hobbs still has a job. Sometimes there is no justice.

Anyway, so long ACK. Nice work, and we hope to see you around the blogosphere.
