"Print is dead... Get over it."-- John Squires, President, Sports Illustrated, Nov. 2004 quoted in the Washington Post 2-20-2005 "...the notion of a neutral, non-partisan mainstream press was, to me at least, worth holding onto. Now it's pretty much dead, at least as the public sees things." -- Howard Fineman, "The 'Media Party' is over" MSNBC, 1-11-05 "...the mainstream media's monopoly on information is over." --Peggy Noonan, WSJ, Jan. 13, 2005 "Sept. 9, 2004, will be remembered as a paradigm-shifting day in media history. That was the day the 'blogosphere' took down CBS News" -- James Pinkerton, Newsday, Sept. 14, 2004 "The New York Times’ account of the [CNN chief] Eason Jordan resignation provides a general recap of the story they didn’t cover, along with a good dose of excuses and justifications ..." -- Lorie Byrd, Polipundit, 2-12-2005 "The New York Times, CBS and the BBC all had to fire lead personnel over the fact that they just damn well made stuff up out of whole cloth in service to an obviously partisan political agenda."-- New Sisyphus, 3-15-05 "The media can now wistfully reflect on their glory days of the 1970's when the majority of people actually bought into their bullshit."-- Laura K. Van Onymous "Newspapers do have a few things going for them....you can't line the bird cage with the Internet or wrap fish in a cable news channel." -- Neal Boortz |
LOL... The best laugh I've had in a week!
Howard Fineman, When exactly did this "neutral, non-partisan mainstream press" exist? Certainly not in the last fifty years.
