They're choosing not to renew with a lot of us. Actually, they're willing to allow us the privilege of continuing to run their ads, but the only pay they will offer is being part of the network. That has zero value as they didn't do anything to make it valuable. I think many of us had hoped that PJM would promote our blogs, but they did nothing of the sort. They also failed to ever communicate with us about things. I received no more than 10 emails from them with news about the organization. There were real hopes that they'd drive traffic our way, involve us in the operation, and be something different. Instead, it's the same old, same old -- a crappy mainstream media clone featuring National Review and Weekly Standard second-stringers and overrated warbloggers.
