Some personal news -- after what came out to over 1,200 night shifts (minus vacation days), I'm moving to the morning shift for @NewsBusters. Starting tomorrow, I'll covering everything from the night before plus the looniness on CNN, MSNBC and whatever else happens in the AM.
I started the night shift in September 2014, working four nights a week (and the occasional fifth here and there) before going to what was loosely three nights a week in April 2016. Through it all, I really came to enjoy it (though it can wreak havoc on your personal life).
Only three months into @NewsBusters (after the previous summer at @CNSNews), @KenShepherd and I were the team working on the networks, Chris Matthews, and whatever else came up.
For a kid fresh out of college with few D.C. connections, I was blessed to have my foot in the door.

Come April 2016, I became Managing Editor and @NickFondacaro was made my new partner in crime. Since then, we've been here for one massive news night after the next, covering elections, riots, deaths, and shootings among others.
Put simply, there are few if any people in conservative media or the blogosphere that can outwork us when we're on a roll.
@NickFondacaro has become like a brother to me -- plenty of days we like each other, other days we drive each other nuts. It was a great ride.

So, starting tomorrow (Wednesday), our new night team will be @NickFondacaro and @KevinTober94. They've already shown they're an indefatigable duo.
To wrap up, thanks for reading all these years. Stay tuned! I'll still be all over @NewsBusters, so let not your heart be troubled.

It was already way too much math for me, so I didn't care to try and go back through old time sheets.
