This piece on comic genius Jonathan Winters makes me sad.
I would have expected that this master improvisor would have come up with a more creative analysis of the current state of entertainment than trotting out the usual suspects of "freak shows" and "political correctness".

BEGIN RANDOM BLATHERING: Then again, the current media environment must be awful, if the Miss America pageant can't seem to get publicity for its Miss America Instant Celebrity Judge Contest. (One caveat: this is NOT the competition where Big Brother's Jamie won Miss Microsoft State -er, I mean Washington State) And how did the premiere of Battlebots slip below my personal radar? And what IS the All-star Newspaper all about? Can I get Dan Gillmor or Aaron Barnhart trading cards now? And why did I need PRNewswire to find out the old rock band Survivor was suing the TV show of the same name? What's going on around here?!?!? END RANDOM BLATHERING

Let's stop fighting among ourselves and start abusing OldMedia people for a change
Amazing discovery #1: There is a difference between people who become journalists and people who don't!
Amazing discovery #2: Journalists who work for big media companies that make a lot of money are themselves making a lot of money!
Amazing discovery #3: Some newspeople get off on feeling morally superior to other newspeople!

Tired of The Media not getting your story right?
Looking for a way to make sure your feelings are respected and your point of view is aired?
It's easy! Just kill four people and take three more hostage. (from Romanesko's Media News)
