NBC Immeltdown
2008-05-19 12:56:00 Keith Olbermann's four-year MSNBC-sponsored war against Bill O'Reilly lures the terrorists out of their cave.Howard Kurtz Wash Post: Bill O'Reilly, Fox News star, is mounting an extraordinary televised assault on the chief executive of General Electric, calling him a "pinhead" and a "despicable human being" who bears responsibility for the deaths of American soldiers in Iraq. On the surface, O'Reilly's charges revolve around GE's history of doing business with Iran. But the attacks grow out of an increasingly bitter feud between O'Reilly and the company's high-profile subsidiary, NBC, one that has triggered back-channel discussions involving News Corp. owner Rupert Murdoch, Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes, NBC chief executive Jeff Zucker and General Electric's CEO, Jeffrey Immelt. Ailes called Zucker on his cellphone last summer, clearly agitated over a slam against him by MSNBC host Keith Olbermann. According to sources familiar with the conversation, Ailes warned that if Ol...

Murdoch?s Lesson In Chinese Ass-Kissing
2008-05-05 17:51:00 Reviewed in the New York Times, a new book reveals lessons in media learned the hard way by one of the most successful men in the game: Mr. Rupert Murdoch himself. Back in 1993 the billionaire owner of News Corporation arrived in China, like many successful business men do, with dollar signs in his eyes. He had just bought a majority stake in Star TV, a fledgling satellite TV venture, with hopes of doing for Chinese TV what he had done in the UK thanks to Sky. But, to quote an overused cliché, the best laid plans often go awry.

Olbermann's Big Flack Attack
2008-04-24 13:42:00 Consider the source: Rupert's NYP Page Six. MSNBC talking head Keith Olbermann isn't just a blowhard, he's a hypocrite. After USA Today columnist Lorrie Lynch criticized CNBC anchor Erin Burnett for refusing to do an interview without her flack present, Olbermann named Lynch the "Worst Person in the World" on his nightly show, stating that all public figures are interviewed with "press handlers." Responding this week on her daily "Who's News" blog, Lynch points out that in 2005, Olbermann himself gave her "a lovely interview that was completely handler-free." Lynch told Page Six, "I sent Keith an e-mail to thank him for the mention; I haven't heard back."

Rupert Murdoch Firm Goes on Trial for Alleged Tech Sabotage
2008-04-22 02:33:00 Did a Rupert Murdoch company go too far and hire hackers to sabotage rivals and gain the top spot in the global pay-TV war? This is the question a jury will be facing in a spectacular five-year-old civil lawsuit that is finally being tried this month in California but which has, oddly, received little notice from U.S. media. The case involves a colorful cast of characters that includes former intelligence agents, Canadian TV pirates, Bulgarian and German hackers, stolen e-mails and the mysterious suicide of a Berlin hacker who had been courted by the Murdoch company not long before his death. On the hot spot is NDS Group, a UK-Israeli firm that makes smartcards for pay-TV systems like DirecTV. The company is a majority-owned subsidiary of Murdoch's News Corporation. The charges stem from 1997 when NDS is accused of cracking the encryption of rival NagraStar, which makes access cards and systems for EchoStar's Dish Network and other pay-TV services. Further, it's allege...

Its mission is the betterment of the 26 communities in which it works and the promotion of journalism as a career and industry nationwide. The latter part of Knight?s mission is particularly challenging at a time when traditional newspapers are shrinking and, in many cases, evaporating. That puts Alberto Ibargüen, CEO of the Knight Foundation and a former publisher of the Miami Herald, at the same crossroads that silent movies encountered with talkies, talkies with radio, radio with television, television with cable, and now traditional print journalism with online reporting, blogs, podcasting, v-logs, streaming media, and so on. Since 1950, the Knight Foundation has invested more than $300 million to advance quality journalism and freedom of expression worldwide. It has a vital interest in seeing journalism survive in whatever form it takes. I int...
