Sexism in Mainstream Media
2008-06-07 03:04:00 The Women's Media Center has released this video which as parsed together a number of clips from mainstream media's coverage of news.Sexism is a live and well and the glass ceiling continues to prevail in society.
80% of Republicans are just Uninformed Democrats
2008-06-02 19:53:00 Robert F. Kennedy I have experienced the same time and time again. When you speak with a Republican their values are the same as Democrats, however their opinions are formed by poor information sources. When the conversation moves to citing acceptable resources, they have none and move to get away from the conversation. Very sad. ...

I LOVE/HATE the Mainstream Media
2008-05-31 03:05:00 Not to much else to say . . .I consume (is that the right word?) 15,000 newstories and headlines a week--not to mention Radio Talk Shows, News Tickers, and Political Talking Heads.Fox Noise has become a guilty pleasure of mine.Actually, I'm gonna change the above word--I am not consuming news. Intead, I'm analyzing and comparing and cross-checking. I like to debate and I like facts.I'll try and present the facts as I see them; but--here is the deal now--If you have better facts than me, let me know! :)
Is The Mainstream Media Really That Different From Blogs?
2008-05-23 22:12:00 In the last month or so there’s been a lot of “mainstream media vs. bloggers” talk in the sports world. Much has been made of if bloggers pose a legitimate threat to newspapers and magazines etc. Much has also been made of the “offensive, irresponsible, juvenile, and incorrect” content found on sports blogs. Unlike most ...

Twitter integrated into mainstream media site
2008-05-22 01:15:00 On Sunday, I discussed how Twitter feeds (or variations) will be aggregated into channels by mainstream media. Yesterday's release that Summize, a Twitter search engine has partnered with Huffington Post to display Twitters by tagged subject is an indication to this effect. Here's how this works... each article in the Huffington Post has tags.Clicking on the tag brings up more articles on the subject, including specific Twitter feeds related to the tag.Unfortunately, Twitters related to real estate don't seem relevant, principally because the tag is too generic. This is a good try to attribute relevancy to Twitter feeds, but will work better with more detailed "Long Tail" tags, such as "Sacramento foreclosures". Here's an idea Huffington Post might consider for general tags to make them relevant - create individual Twitter feeds, such as @huffpo_obama that Twitter links to their Obama articles. Then, followers to @huffpo_obama (and there would be many) can Twitter comment about ...
Why mainstream media should be developing online real estate magazines
2008-05-14 01:00:00 A few days ago, I noted that the new and most relevant online real estate magazines are best exemplified by blog properties like Agent Genius or Bloodhound. Mainstream media should be playing this card - building their own local real estate magazines - because they already have the consumer traffic base and can leverage their brand names to capture real estate readers.Newspaper publishers Screenwerk cites the local online newspapers' trend to "site diversification" in order to capture more relevant local traffic. Greg Sterling's main point: Newspaper sites cannot accomodate all the various local uses cases and newspapers need to build or buy (if they can) other sites that will. The Gannett Mom sites (e.g., IndyMoms) are a great example of the strategy. Make the newspaper sites as usable as possible but build other sites (demographically focused, vertical, etc.) for content and ad distribution. Real estate fits this paradigm. Newspaper sites or companies like Planet Discover...
Pity the Poor Mainstream Media!
2008-05-10 00:01:00 by Ernest Partridge It is very difficult for an old liberal like me to be sympathetic about the plight of the corporate media, given the way they have behaved of late. But the simple fact of the matter is that the commercial news media have fallen into a deep financial pit, and that is both good news and bad news for the political health of our republic. In 2005, newspaper circulation declined over the previous year by 2.6 percent, with the largest declines posted in the major newspapers. Still worse, in 2007, newspaper advertising revenue fell by 9.4 percent. As a result of this shrinkage, in 2007 2,400 journalists lost their jobs, and 15,000 have been canned in the last decade. The predicament of network TV evening news programs is still more desperate. In 1980, the combined audience for the NBC, CBS and ABC newscasts was 53 million. Just last month, that audience tallied at 21.5 million: about seven percent of the US population. And the median age of that audienc...

Commisioned: (almost) Everything in Mainstream Media is.
2008-04-30 23:16:00 I just watched Mix recently and found out that the top 10 for today was kind of reasonable. Except for the fact that most of it are foreign artists, but at least they’re good. The foreign songs are concentrated in the 5-1 spot, except for a certain top one that has been there for 8 days: Masarap Dito by Project 1 As far as I know Project 1 is a collaboration of different band members, the song was also used in Coke’s latest ad campaign and it was also featured in Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition Plus in ABS-CBN. Is it really weird that the lyrics have small implications of Coke and Myx is actually a sister company of ABS-CBN? Even if it’s text voted, I can’t help but to wonder… hmmmm. Even if there was no Survey Scandal between GMA7 and ABS-CBN, I still cannot help but wonder if the voters were really sensible enough to vote a noypi song if the songs on 2-6 were foreign artists. Also, as far as I have remembered, ads from Coke with some tag line like &ld...

BPA (Bisphenol A) in plastic hits the mainstream media (again!)-
2008-04-11 03:35:00 We've been talking about BPA in plastic bottles and sippy cups for a very long time, and the mainstream press has brought this issue to the forefront again. On the Today show yesterday morning, there was a clip and an interview with a doctor who called BPA a major health threat for families. They reported that this month a large government study on BPA will be released.The short of it? What we've been saying now for a long time. Avoid plastics with the number #3, #6 and #7. All the new Nalgene bottles are made with #7, hence my past post on being betrayed by Nalgene. For more information on finding baby products (sippy cups, pacifers, feeding gear) without BPA, please visit the labels section of this blog, and look for BPA, BPA free, and Bisphenol A articles (or click here to see all the BPA articles). Here is the video I referenced. I can't help but notice the doctor said to throw away #1 bottles after one use. Ahem, didn't he mean to recycle them? And bottled water has its o...

They truly own their homes.You can't assist a "homeowner" with a mortgage - they don't have mortgages.You generally can't kick a "homeowner" out of their home - they own it."Homeowners" don't have toxic loans, and haven't been taken advantage of by unscrupulous mortgage brokers. Again, they own their homes.Stop insulting true homeowners. Stop confusing owners with "debtors". And start doing a better f*cking job. You are failing America.Peace out.

Mainstream media picks up story on domaining
2008-03-16 19:31:00 Mainstream media has been recently giving more attention to the domaining industry. One such article by The Observer (top UK newspaper) talks about a British domainer named Neil Stanley. Stanley owns a portfolio of .co.uk domain names most of which he parks. They once again analogize domaining as web real estate.
Emulating the Mainstream Media
2008-03-14 19:15:00 It's been a busy week in the real estate world. New bailout proposals surfaced. New loan limit limitations became clearer. Mortgage rates were on a roller coaster. I haven't commented on any of it. I've been busy too, but I'll have a bunch of new stuff this weekend.Today, I'm going to take a page from the MSM and talk about the most important thing to happen in real estate this week. Michael Jackson saved Neverland Ranch from foreclosure. Though from the looks of it, there's not too much to be saved.Jackson hasn't lived there since 2005, so some may question the financial prudence of saving a $24.5 million estate, one hasn't set foot in for three years. I suppose Jackson's action shows there is still some shame in being foreclosed on, despite other homeowners ruthlessly walking away.One TV personality who didn't save his home from foreclosure is local attorney Keith Barton. For those of you not in the Salt Lake market, Barton is one of those stereotypical, ambulan...

Help, The Mainstream Media Swallowed Ron Paul
2008-02-11 18:03:00 Well, gee, but none of that is in the MSM, is it? They've showed clear bias towards the Democratic party this year, and to the liberally conservative John McCain. Sure, the media favored Romney for a while as well, but he was just a casualty in the overall scheme. It's been stated repeatedly that Paul and Huckabee were not serious contenders from the very beginning, if that makes any sense. If all of this seems a little bit confusing, you must have missed our article on Congressman Ron Paul yesterday. Let's catch you up

The Downfall of Mainstream Media
2008-02-01 02:40:00 I spend a lot of my time on Digg, a website in which you submit news and other online articles and then vote them to the front page by “digging” them if you feel they are worthy of it, or conversely “burying” them if you feel like they are a complete waste of electronic space. It’s an interesting, democratic style of viewing online articles. If a story makes it to the front page, it will be because a lot of people found it to be interesting. More often than not, a video from Fox News Channel – or as Digg members refer to it, “Faux News Channel” – shows up. Countless other members, myself included, often treat anything coming from Fox News as an “entertainment” piece, because we all commonly accept that Fox News Channel offers little to no journalistic integrity in the “news” that they report despite their laughable “Fair and Balanced” moniker. This shared (dis)interest in Fox News Channel is part of the demographic that makes up Digg. And that’s abso...

Mainstream Media Picks Up Banned “Blogger” Story
2008-01-08 21:21:00 The mainstream media, first the Vancouver Sun and then CBC Radio, have picked up a story that the Downtown Eastside Enquirer blog has been posting on Blogger News Network and NowPublic over the past year. It is the story of the barring of William “Bill” Simpson, a homeless man, from the Carnegie Center. Simpson was barred from the Carnegie Learning Center on the third floor of the Carnegie Center in Jan. 2007, told by Co-ordinator Lucy Alderson that it was because he was “blogging” on the Downtown Eastside Enquirer. The DTES Enquirer blog had been criticizing Alderson and Carnegie Director Ethel Whitty for repeatedly locking doors to services they were funded to provide to the poor. But Simpson wasn’t the blogger. Six months after being barred from the Carnegie Learning Center, Whitty delivered Simpson a letter barring him from the entire Carnegie Center.  The letter was delivered to Simpson in June 2007, just two weeks after being elected to the Carnegie B...

‘The Geography of Blame’ — Haiti, AIDS and Racism in the Mainstream Media
2007-11-11 21:24:00 by William Bowles Nobody bothers much about what’s happening in Haiti these days until that is, a spurious piece of work appears which asserts that AIDs made its way to the US from Haiti via a single individual, then and only then does Haiti make the headlines. Now where and how AIDS first appeared is the subject of some debate but it would seem that the mostly likely source are the kidneys of chimpanzees infected with a simian variant of the HIV retrovirus used in the making and testing of an oral Polio vaccine in the Congo and elsewhere in West-Central Africa in the late 1950s, “…as a result of American and European medical interventions in Africa during the 1950’s—and specifically the administration of more than one million doses of an experimental oral polio vaccine, some batches of which may have been manufactured from chimp kidneys.”[1] Of course, these interventions took place decades ago and there are no records (and only one blood sample from the period wh...
