Todays links of interest:
- ITV to air royal version of `West Wing’
Right. Because — like the White House — the British Royal Family routinely makes decisions that affect millions of people. - Trying to censor blogger / Owner of conservative radio station KSFO demands liberal critic quit using audio clips
Because KSFO would rather have things like have a host tell a caller to call Allah a whore to prove the caller isn’t a Muslim just disappear forever. But nothing goes away. - TV violence is surging, group says
The group is, of course, the PTC, and the study methods were dodgy, to say the least. But check this scary quote from the article: "Federal Communications Commission member Michael J. Copps, a longtime critic of TV violence, joined the group at a news conference Wednesday and warned broadcasters that the government might act if programming wasn’t voluntarily toned down." No doubt he was sitting right on the PTC’s lap when he said that. You know what? We also find a lot of shows too violent and gory for our tastes, as well. You know what we do? We don’t watch those shows!! - Saddam Hussein Hanging Video on the Web Upsets President Bush
Now he’s just trying to figure out which of the internets he should try to punish. - CBS CEO Moonves Says Interactive Media is Now
Hey, look who’s joined the 1990s!! - No Resolution Seen in Cable TV Dispute
Because that’s what you want to do after you’ve paid for cable: install an over-the-air antenna on the roof of your house to get one fracking station! - 0 laptop could sell to public
The goal is to get millions of these out to children who otherwise would never have access to computers, much less laptops. - Cisco sues to stop Apple from using ‘iPhone’ name
Annnnnddddd heerrrrrreeee weeeeee gooooooooo!!!! - Globes Do Away with Goody Bags
Ah, another sign that the old media empires are crumbling. It’s not like all those stars show up for the awards!
