MEDIA
* "This has been the worst week of blogging since I started... HAD AWESOME POST, GOT DELETED! FUCK YOU BLOGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGER! Go to hell." LINK

* "Comedy Central's spoof news show won its second Peabody Award for election coverage Thursday, with many of the other broadcasting awards going to overseas reports." LINK
funny for 2 reasons... (The (original) Office also won one)
* heres a good article on the media wrt schiavo - altho i'd add a caveat or two to this sentence " Protesters and conflict always sell, and cable news, despite the name, is in the sales business." cf antiwar protestors, or the nyc-rnc or the 150,000 in mexico yesterday
* amygoodman nails it (ive paraphrased this quote from her b4): "Such crude government-supplied propaganda would be laughable were it not being passed off as news on America's TV stations. Even sadder, nothing about the sycophantic reports seems out of the ordinary." LINK
* "Mr. Drudge was especially proud of a comparison to The New York Times. According to the charts, the Drudge Report surpassed The Times online during the period in which Terri Schiavo and the Pope dominated the news cycle." LINK
* is cnn's jonathan mann the most annoying person on the teeve
