Let me preface by first saying I like The History Channel. At least that is to say, I did like The History Channel before they completely ran out of history stuff to talk about.

Entertainment journalism is largely a thankless job. The pay sucks, you work weekends, and even if a large volume of people read or appreciate your work, you probably won't hear the phrase "good job" from them anytime soon.

The most important holiday in February has finally arrived. I'm not talking about Valentine's Day and I'm sure as hell not talking about President's Day: I'm talking, of course, about International 'That's What She Said' Day.

Television networks and other news outlets have had their hands full this New Year's Eve as the video of Saddam's execution has emerged and producers and management are left trying to strike a balance between 'reporting the whole story' without being tasteless.

If you're celebrating Christmas this year, there's an excellent chance that you've got a tree in your living room right now filling your home with its aroma, and why not? The Christmas tree has become as much of a symbol of the holiday as Santa or even baby Jesus.

Last night I curled up on the couch with some tomato soup and a grilled cheese sandwich after a long weekend and flicked on the television. Instead of some relaxing Monday Night Football or a rerun of the adventures of Dr.

The price of Christmas trees got you down? Has the search for that TMX Elmo for your child left you exhausted? Are you wholly unsatisfied with the commercial and/or religious aspects of Christmas? Well my friend, it may be time to join the scores of others who have found another …

Up until Saturday, I had never been to Detroit. In fact, there have only been a handful of times I've visited 'That State Up North' of Ohio, almost all of them for football games.

Déjà vu is a phenomenon that, loosely translated, means 'ripping off a variety of different movies, throwing Denzel Washington in it, and hoping to God something sticks.' At least that's what I think it means, French never was my strong suit.

(There is a light at the end of this article)I'm told that on the 4th Thursday of November, many Americans celebrate a holiday known as 'Thanksgiving.' I can't actually verify whether or not this is true though, because Halloween seems to segue right into Christmas without a ment …

At his funeral service, Senator Ed Kennedy said of Robert Kennedy, "My brother need not be idolized, or enlarged in death beyond what he was in life, to be remembered simply as a good and decent man, who saw wrong and tried to right it, saw suffering and tried to heal it, saw war …

There are a lot of irritating things in this world: the rising cost of gas, sleepless nights, a co-worker who encases your stapler in Jello... but few things are as irritating to me as those who can vote but do not do so.

Save for Snakes on a Plane, no other movie in recent memory has generated as much positive buzz before its release date than Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, or simply, 'Borat.' Almost always, a film fails to live up to its hype …

Not only is Corey an exemplary journalist and (most importantly) Viner - but he's also one sexy son-of-a-@!$%#!
Let the poke wars continue, my friend.

What's finally got me writing this testimonial for Mr. Spring is the honesty and openness he's shown in the face of Netscape's attempt to buy off users from popular sites like Digg, Newsvine, Reddit and Flickr.
Corey is a talented and funny writer and an integral part of the Newsvine community. I've been a fan of his writing since before Newsvine went public.
Keep up the good work, Corey!

The coolest thing about Corey is that as much as I read his articles religiously (and look up to him as a writer), he still finds time to comment back on the articles I write. It's almost like being contacted by a celebrity everytime I write an article. This is exactly why I love Newsvine so much...this Web 2.0 contact that people have with each other. Thanks a lot Corey! Keep up the good work!

Corey Spring is not only a promising young journalist, but the brightest example of Newsvine community spirit. How can I say that with so many kind and intelligent people contributing to the forum? Because Corey Spring has persistently welcomed new users by introducing them to the Newsvine Code of Honor and other articles useful for people who are yet to learn the ropes of seeding, writing and commenting on Newsvine. As far as I know he is the only one who has a standardized text to politely correct new users who are operating in violation of the code of conduct. If anyone should have a Newsvine press card or serve as the shop chairman, Corey would be first in line.
