Not Lame: Only Charlie Sheen Has His Priorities Straight

admin — Thu, 03 Feb 2011 16:52:17 +0000

Charlie Sheen says the focus on his latest escapade is not worth media attention, especially with all that’s going on. Not because he’s embarrassed, not at all. It’s not the stories about porn stars, suitcases of drugs – it’s the principle of the situation.

He told eonline.com via text message about the rumors swirling about him, “Believe nothing. I will never speak about any of this as long as I’m alive. You’re all gonna have to keep towing the same redundant line, guessing wrong.”

“BTW, two wars are in an endless state of sorrow. Egypt about burned to the ground, and all you people care about is my bulls***?”

“Shame shame shame.”

Sad thing is, he’s right…

Quick Post: Why HuffPo Matters

admin — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 12:50:36 +0000

Today I received an e-mail from Air America Radio with the teaser:

Pitney-gate: Why Is Huffington Post Getting Called On At White House Pressers?

First I have to say it’s a teaser because I saw no mention of this story in the actual e-mail. Secondly, maybe it has something to do with the huge sum of money recently invested in the Huffington Post ($15 million!), money which didn’t come from the White House and the taxpayer.

Why not reward an American company that is out there doing it without asking for a bailout and a media company that isn’t about to go under? (see: American Newspapers) Now this isn’t the reason that Obama called on Pitney, it was because they knew he had a real question. But the above is just my 2 cents.

Let Newspapers Die; It’s Journalism We Need Says One Man

admin — Wed, 13 May 2009 23:02:10 +0000

It’s a take that we haven’t heard before, but it somewhat makes sense. I think first though we need to get these new journalists to move to other mediums.

Society doesn’t need newspapers. What we need is journalism. For a century, the imperatives to strengthen journalism and to strengthen newspapers have been so tightly wound as to be indistinguishable. That’s been a fine accident to have, but when that accident stops, as it is stopping before our eyes, we’re going to need lots of other ways to strengthen journalism instead.

When we shift our attention from “save newspapers” to “save society”, the imperative changes from “preserve the current institutions” to “do whatever works.” And what works today isn’t the same as what used to work.
