“Ringers” are people used by professional reporters to actually go out and get the stories, usually while the reporter hides in a safe hotel room somewhere.
Luckily, reporters no longer have to pay out a few bucks to the ringers for a story, the Internet can do it for them!
The Bomb-A-Tron is a new tool used by professional organizations such as CBS, CNN, and the NYT. By simply adding a few random details, reporters can easily present a professional, well written, and completely unquestioned article to their editors.
Thankfully, this wonderful tool is now available to bloggers the world over. Please use it wisely!
