- It’s great hitting another huge milestone today, just before a niiiice long holiday weekend. Yep, we’ve crossed the
15 million hit threshhold as of this afternoon here at News Askew. Yet again, we must say that we have each and every one of you to thank
for the hits that this site continues to celebrate. We’re doing it for all of you, and happy that you continue to return for your regular
Askew news fix. So, thanks to all who wrote in to let us know that we passed the mark, and yet again, THANK YOU for the continuing scoops
and support. We’ll check in when news breaks, but if we don’t see you again before that, for those of you here in the States, have fun
and safe holiday weekend.
