Even with the profits from its scam Kaplan correspondence courses, the Washington Post company performs just as dismally as an investment as it does as a newspaper. But that hasn’t stopped publisher Katharine Weymouth from earning a “base salary” of $625,000 per year along with another half-million or so in bonuses and stock. Meanwhile, throngs [...]
Whenever that James O’Keefe guy puts out another heavily edited video against some liberal bogeyman, both the White House and the Washington/New York media quickly fire everyone involved — because the only rational way to deal with claims made by partisan pranksters is to simply punish anyone targeted. That’s why Shirley Sherrod was immediately fired [...]
Do you love Google News but wish it was somehow tied up with the Washington Post? Then you will really be delighted to hear that the WaPo is launching something called “Trove,” which is a magical way to apparently personalize the news you wish to see on your screen — sort of the way you’ve [...]
There is literally nothing more important on Earth than America Online’s purchase of Arianna Huffington’s celebriporn blog. Nothing. This is why Canadian agents provocateurs are leaving comments on the NYT calling for insurrection. Insurrection! This particular Canadian (we hide his assumed name to protect ourselves from the tanks of oppression) wants HuffPo bloggers to quit [...]
The journalism industry is having a bit of a hard time these last couple of decades, you may have heard. And the main way the journalism industry has responded to the crisis in the journalism industry is by dramatically lowering the quality of the journalism industry’s primary product, which is journalism. Here, in a brilliant [...]
The United States, which is currently engaged in a complete war against some weird guy with a website, is going to host “World Press Freedom Day,” the Department of State announced today. They’re all especially excited about protecting the flow of digital news, which is why Washington is “concerned about the determination of some governments [...]
Sarah Palin has had it with the irresponsible media, especially when they’re not fulfilling their constitutional duty of writing fluff pieces about her wayward pregnant teen-aged children dancing like harlots on the teevee. No longer will Sarah just sit there typing hieroglyphics on Twitter while the anti-American monsters of The Politico quote her fellow Republicans [...]
Have you seen the New CNN? It’s probably way better than the old CNN, especially if this “CNN Justice” headline is any indication. Why did the Time Demons do something to a child, in America? [CNN]
Have you heard about the hawt new Afghanistan war journalism, Wikileaks? The Washington Post heard about it too, probably by checking Google News or whatever. And two unlucky reporters got the Sunday night job of writing about the “new approach” Wikileaks took to publicize the damning war documents — a “new approach” that completely passed [...]
Rolling Stone war journalist Michael Hastings was on Howard Kurtz’s Sunday chat show to talk about doing journalism for real, instead of just writing neo-con combat fantasies for the Washington Post op-ed pages. But what did CBS News’ battlefield babe Lara Logan think of Hastings for reporting what General Stanley McChrystal and his senior staff [...]
The media industry has fully recovered, as evidenced by this job listing seeking thirty (30!) journalists at the Atlantic Media Group. But Atlantic Media Group’s National Journal just got rid of thirty (30!) journalists through buyouts, so the net gain of Journalism Jobs is zero (0). Still, this is enough for a shitty trend column [...]
Ha ha ha, don’t know how we missed this earlier in the week, but a thriller novelist named Brad Thor has been publishing major major national security Scoops at Andrew Breitbart’s Big Government joke blog: “Late this afternoon Lt. Colonel Oliver North confirmed that Taliban leader and Osama bin Laden ally, Mullah Mohammed Omar has [...]
Famous college-testing company Kaplan is now racing to get rid of all its loser “print journalism” properties, with forgotten newsweekly Newsweek now officially being handed to some broker who will put it out of its misery. (Kaplan also owns the Washington Post, the struggling youth-blogging consortium and holding pen for insane old neo-cons.) But Newsweek [...]
