Obama: ipods and xboxes are diversions instead of empowering

"With iPods and iPads and Xboxes and PlayStations, -- none of which I know how to work -- information becomes a distraction, a diversion, a form of entertainment, rather than a tool of empowerment, rather than the means of emancipation," Obama said. He bemoaned the fact that "some of the craziest claims can quickly claim traction," in the clamor of certain blogs and talk radio outlets.

The Stern Broadcasting Corp.

In today’s Daily News, David Hinckley and Talkers’ Michael Harrison speculate that when Howard Stern’s Sirius XM contract is up, he could use the internet to start his own broadcasting company. Indeed, he could. Technology makes it possible: We could listen to him – and watch him – on the internet, on our iPods, and even now on our web-enabled phones. There’s no longer a need for a distribution network.

Printed Blogs

Not a joke, at least not on purpose: A guy named Joshua Karp plans to spend $15,000 printing blog posts off the Internet and having 9 or so unpaid interns distribute them to people on train platforms in Chicago.

Was Sarah Palin treated unfairly from the media? She thinks so.

WASHINGTON — Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is questioning whether Caroline Kennedy will get better treatment from the media in her bid for a Senate seat from New York than the battering Palin says she received as John McCain's running mate. "I've been interested to see how Caroline Kennedy will be handled and if she will be handled with kid gloves or if she will be under such a microscope," Palin told conservative radio talk show host and filmmaker John Ziegler.

It's been 40 days since McCain or Palin news conference

Forget about your political persuasion. Is this smart? "As of this writing, it has been 39 days and 22 hours since Sen. John McCain last held a news conference (despite having promised to hold weekly Q&A sessions with the press if he's elected). According to the Democrats, it's been 24 days and 11 hours since his running mate, Sarah Palin, held one...Not the most important issue of the day, perhaps. But maybe the most ironic, given where McCain and Palin were Monday: In Media, Pa. Where they didn't take questions."

Palin refuses to do interviews until media swears to be nice

The pitbull with lipstick refuses to talk to the media until the media promises to 'show deference.' Anyone think this is a dumb tactic? Fox news interviewed McCain campaign manager Rick Davis on the subject. "So when will she subject herself to questions?...When we think it's time and when she feels comfortable doing it...Why is she scared of answering questions? She's not scared to answer questions, but you know what? We run our campaign not the news media... She will do interviews, but she'll do them on the terms and conditions" the campaign decides."

Media responsible for everyone's misery (not just women's).

Set aside the fact that the author of this article is a moronic jerk, he makes an interesting point that men are barraged by images of unobtainable women in the media, making it difficult for them to desire the ordinarily beautiful. Feel sorry for them.
