“Personally, I view the New York Times as bias in news coverage, blind to reality, wouldn't know investigative journalism if they didn't see it on the front page of the Washington Post. (All the time.)
I saw Poliwood. It had clear democratic leanings and a clear personal point of view that favored a democratic takeover of Washington. That’s the director’s point of view and it was his film.
I know those involved with The Creative Collation have a dedication (and responsibility, I might add) to use their market reach to create and facilitate change. I believe some of the talent featured were/are very sincere about their beliefs. It wasn't a party ride.
The media was all over this election. They fed the general public exactly what would be needed to create the image that would instill fear that four more Republican years would send our country spiraling into an economic abyss. Hum.
Maybe we just need more conversation (less printed words) to facilitate change.”

Arthur Sulzberger Compares Print Journalism To The Titanic
Commented Oct 27, 2009 at 17:39:41 in Media
“Arthur, limitedly, print journalism will survive just as there were some survivors of the doomed Titanic.
The reason, of course, is that scandal primarily sells newspapers, especially at the kiosk, as scandals generate headlines, headlines pause the consumer, titillating leads (something the NYT understands) secure the sale, and then possibly create brand loyalty.
If you had gone with The Victim X scandal, 2 ½ years ago when it was covered in the now-defunct USAVoice.o
Spilled milk, I guess.
As Titanic sinks and carries with it the men who for years have held back on a scandal as life-altering as Watergate the survivors who braved certain death will find a way to carry on and bring all the news that’s fit to print (and The Victim X Scandal) to print journalism”

Michael Moore: I May QUIT Documentaries
Commented Sep 15, 2009 at 16:55:57 in Entertainment
“I find it very interesting that Michael Moore would "talk like this is his last" documentary when the last six have the highest grossing box office numbers of any previous docs. Fahrenheit 9/11 grossed over 220m not including home sales making it the number one grossing documentary of all time.
Holding the crown may not be easy and yet you have it in the doc field. Will you get the same acclaim in mainstream films? Will you get the mainstream financing? Studios like the ROR on their ROI which for the 10m budget well you can do the math. It's been good to you and them.
You are the authority, the expert on the exposé doc. The public expects of you and you deliver all the time. Don't stop now; the public needs you.
Besides there is plenty of corruption left to expose.”

“With your mentality calculating value and worth in dollars and cents, you would not understand what makes Michael Moore tick. He is like a Jesuit, with single-minded intensity to follow his own moral compass. You think $ and cents motivate him, you'll miss truth by a mile, and you'll be part of the problem that he's talking about.”

Charlie Gibson "Livid" Over Choice Of Diane Sawyer As Replacement: Report

“With all respect to David Westin, I think you are missing two key elements.
The first is long term viewer security: Bringing in a more youthful anchor/news reporter may go further to gain demographics from the galvanized mass that elected Obama.
The second is likeability: It has nothing to do with Diane being likable or not. She's nice, people like her; and if you can be cheery that early in the morning more power to you. That's not at all what I am talking about. I talking about gathering two demographics through one person: Dan Taylor.
With the memory of Peter Jennings still present and the Obama generation waiting to see their effort matched by TV anchor/newscaster presence Dan Taylor seems the obvious choice.
He has a strength in appearance; he delivers well; he's believable/ the honesty factor, youthful, has experience, he's not doing double duty and he can sit in the seat for thirty years if he wants.
It seems almost a slap in the face to the other talent to shift Diane Sawyer to evening. With all due respect I see it as a ratings nightmare with NBC raking in the lion's share.”

Now you can really call me an ultra-right wing fanatic conservative.”

“My previous comments on Paul Krassner's, trip with me back to the 60's, articles generated words like “neo-con.” To my defense I do know who Jerry Garcia is and have even listened to the Dead and even been considered a "deadhead" without the requisite acid trip.
I believe the 1960's were a time of expression, the explosion of color, as a generation moved away from June Cleaver to psychedelic lifestyles of the 1960’s. It was freedom; the boundaries, generational restraints were lifted and people suddenly discovered there was someone just like them and galvanized.
And those times and the world changers that rose to power in living rooms, backrooms, undergrounds and a farm in upstate NY reflect with feelings that are articulated through hazy memories and filtered through conventional boundaries that leave others saying, “We just don’t understand you.”

“None the less, in spite of your stiff and safe disapproval, the Sixties were a real and sincere effort to redirect the country away from where it finally ended up--the cinder of capitalistic ruin that it is today. Were your antennae as astute and confident as they seem now during the constitutional bonfires set by the Neocons and their silent corporate mentors, the preliminary stages of bonfiring our very order by the Neocon globalists, who needed to set fires to our social and religious cohesions in order to achieve the paradigm shift to corporate world order? You missed them, you say? I am wierd, you say? Notice how what you miss and what is wierd are predictably tandem in your simplistic cerebral endeavors. Perhaps the venality and the shallowness of your ambition blinded you to the requisite open-mindedness, the necessary objectivity of any true observer.
Was there some inelegant wierdness in the sixites and their metaphors? Certainly. The persona of any revolutionary attempt cannot escape it, since it cannot escape the mirror effect of that which it hopes to change. The wierdness of the sixties and its masques were determined and defined from that which was deliberately hidden from your countrymen; your ilk pretended to see Nixon and Reagan as impossibly inflated heros, and you subscribed to their spins like true believers. Those more astute knew that beneath was a slithering greed that could only spell the worst of all disasters--those born of betrayal.”
