What a brilliant critique on the state of media today. I'll be sure to share these insights with my students. And by the way, Newhouse is not losing Dean Rubin. He's returning from a year's sabbatical as my colleague! I had the pleasure of being hired by Dean Rubin and will begin my faculty appointment fall 2008.

He is a fantastic speaker, an inspired educator and an all-around great man. Newhouse will miss him. As for his words: I completely agree with everything he said. It is an abomination to see what is passing for news today on the television. Seeing Hollywood reports not only passing as local news, but being the lead story makes me ill as it probably does most reporters. We need our news back to being news!

Not that being owned by GE is a crime. The crime comes when you ignore GE owning you body and soul. Journalists are slaves to their owners one misphrase and inemployment is your fate, remember the Night Stalker. The suits were always weasels and will continue to be.
