A couple of years ago the local NBC station was up for sale. They never sold
it. I think that its probably true that money is gone out of regular tv.
Competition from TNT, AE and other stations take away from the rating

On the other hand they just might be going for the tastiest pieces
Wow, there's a lot of Comcast hate on this list. I'm glad I don't have them as

A lot of people forget that AOL actually bought Time Warner. Back then, they

non-metropolitan areas. Back then, AOL
Other fun fact about AOL/Time Warner merger: Colin Powell made $10 million
when the two companies merged. Powell's son, Michael, was chairman of the FCC
board that facilitated the merger.

It is much more fun to put cream cheese on these bagels than on an ordinary
bagel. In additional to the intellectual stimulation, you get more cream
cheese, because there is slightly more surface area.

I dread the demise of newspapers, if the quick-and-flashy blog and more
sensational Web news sites become the model. If the major papers can
transistion more to the Web and keep some of their structure in place, that's
great. I don't think many people are aware just how bad news is becoming.
Wouldn't surprise me at all. It'll also fail, on some unforseen level, and
something approaching NBC would, IMO, spring from the wreckage. (Wouldn't it be
nice if something similar were to happen to Fox?)

Keith, a few newspapers (our own AJC, for one) are so badly written that they

You brought up a good point Keith. How many news stories have we read lately
that come from Twitter as a source? The golden rule in newspaper reporting
is to have at least 3 sources or a direct statement from the source. Older
