Online and T.V. Media News
The Wall Street Journal is reporting that MSN is talking to AOL about merging some of their internet biz, specifically putting MSN's new search enging onto AOL webpages and sharing the ad revenue. MSN would replace Google, which has supplied the search engine and ads for AOL since 2002.
Yahoo! is launching a solo journalist multimedia site reporting from active conflict zones. Why are the vast majority of war reporters white males? What can another white male tell us about the world? Why the hell are women not more involved in conflict resolution? We need more women involved in decision-making around the world and here in the U.S., not another Great White Hope For The World's Conflicts.
On Wednesday, Bush wrote a note to Condi asking permission to use the bathroom while at the UN. A Reuters photographer caught him writing the note on film. It's been around the world in newspapers and was on The Daily Show last night (which I missed because I was sick of their week-long Evolution theme).
NBC is desperately seeking viewers in Christian-heavy red states. "Three Wishes" and "My Name is Earl," represents their current pandering efforts. One thing is true - hicks aren't the only people who have stopped watching NBC religiously. Only things I make time for from their schedule is "West Wing" and "ER." And really, I should just give up on the ridiculous plot line of ER.
