RE: Another Joe Jumps on the Steem Boat!

anotherjoe? Yeah, I realize that in my posts here on Steemit, I inject a few opinions of mine here and there into my articles upon reporting news events. Trying to report purely from an impartial standpoint is a rarity these days among journalists. News agencies like MSNBC, CNN, Headline News, The Washington Post, and The New York Times tend to have a liberal slant, whereas other news agencies like Fox News tend to have a conservative slant. The only TV journalists who really adhere to the principle of unbiased reporting are the ones on "60 Minutes." Of course, that television news series has been in existence since 1968, so it is only to be expected that it will be held to a higher standard than other news entities in that regard. I appreciate your constructive criticism about my writing. I agree that the key to success in putting out an exceptional article online is chopping the paragraphs into smaller ones. That's not always an easy thing to do, but I've been attempting to discipline myself in that respect.

I think that the major downside with Steemit is that they only give us 7 days to change anything in a post or article that we publish on their site, whereas other writing platforms do not impose any such time limits. I recently discovered that I was supposed to have italicized the name of this one publication in my first series of posts here on Steemit; but by the time that I caught my typographical errors in that respect, it was too late for me to do anything about it.

I haven't had as much time to write anything inasmuch as my day job has been requiring a lot of overtime hours out of me lately, and I become easily tempted by the money whenever my employer offers me to work extra hours. That is the reason why it takes me longer than normal to respond back to you. Anyhow, I will go ahead and look you up in Discord once I get a little more free time. What you described to me concerning the compensation plan for SNO was quite interesting. And, yes, I am one to remain open to any suggestions that could help me spruce up my writing. Whenever I see some of the stuff that people post on YouTube, even in their descriptions below their videos, it gets me worrying where the entire English language is headed. It is disturbing to think that when we both get past 90 years old decades from now, we may not even be able to understand what anyone younger than 20 years old is saying whenever we see them speaking on television news shows. I'm happy to know that there are still people like you on the Internet who take pride in how the English language is written and spoken.

Thanks! Great response.
