The New York Post Gets It Wrong… Again
Seriously, what is their problem? Just because some guy says 12 are dead – doesn’t mean you post it. Even Rupert Murdoch should know that (maybe not). Jill Kennedy – OnMedea
Eric Schmidt
Aereo Will Fail
Make no mistake – there is no chance Aereo will survive longer than two or three years. That’s a best-case scenario. Broadcast Networks are dying (it’s true) and will be dead in their current form within five years. In five years, who is going to…
The Pathetic, Sleazy World Of Facebook ‘Likes’
Companies who believe that having millions of “Likes” on Facebook is important to their bottom line have it absolutely wrong. “Liking” Coke or “Liking” The Avengers on Facebook isn’t going to make a person drink more Coke or see The Avengers more times – it…
Stuck Between Old and New Media
Hollywood is stuck. New York is stuck. Silicon Valley is stuck. No one can really do anything too exciting because old media is still hanging around – refusing to give up the crown. Don’t get me wrong – OLD MEDIA IS DYING – but they’re…

Dueling Fanatics
Two very popular websites and what they posted at exactly 3:00 PM Pacific time today (October 2nd). The real question going into the debates tomorrow isn’t who will win – Obama or Romney? (FYI, Fox News has already declared Mitt Romney the winner.) The real…
Fox News Declares Mitt Romney the Winner of the First Presidential Debate
Also declaring Mitt Romney a winner are Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter. How is that possible? The debate doesn’t even happen until October 3rd. Here’s how: Fox News is really pushing a specific storyline about the upcoming debate. They are calling it “Do…
Should We Believe Facebook’s Earnings?
Today is a big day for FB:NASDAQ. The first earnings release after a pretty crappy IPO. Needless to say, earnings and guidance must destroy expectations. This is important for everyone who has a stake in the company – from those who had blind faith in…
