Three Stars of the Newscycle: 7.26.06
Wednesday, July 26th, 2006In case you didn’t notice, Ol’ Rob Howard came on through and swept up Media Bitchfest in preparation for…. well nothing. The good news is that we are again reminded that we have exchanged emails with Deadspin’s Will Lietch and that his Midwestern geniality prevented him from saying anything bad about this site. Bless his […]
You Sold Out
Wednesday, July 26th, 2006Tom Scocca of the New York Observer has a lengthy screed up today decrying the dangers of YouTube and what it is doing the fabric of our culture. His hypothesis: the ephemeral nature of television is sacrosanct. It used to be, when you caught something extraordinary on the tele, it was lightning in a bottle, […]
So As It Turns Out…
Tuesday, July 25th, 2006My little vacation took an extra day due to technical difficulties, but I am back tomorrow like a motherfucker. We will be fully operational… oh yes.
Also, we are getting official ass @MediaBitchfest.com emails. And you know what? We’re just fucking giving them away. I’ll have more details tomorrow, but I want all 15 of you […]
The Lazy Sunday Edition
Sunday, July 23rd, 2006What’s up bitches, this is Rob reporting in several days late for my Friday Bitchfest assignment. Lucky for me, a quick read of Editor and Publisher has once again fueled the fires of loathsome frustration with the journalism industry that burn deep inside my soul, so we have a nice news roundup (and some site […]

Blogs Kind Of Report Kind Of Stories, Kind Of, Sometimes
Thursday, July 20th, 2006Teller of truths, Pew Interests, has released a study that confirms pretty much everything you might think about bloggers.
Do they think they’re journalists? Some do.
What defines a journalist, blogger? Linking to sources and checking facts.

Kevin Smith Is Kind Of Cool
Wednesday, July 19th, 2006Two quick points on Kevin Smith, first at a critics screening of Clerks II last night Joel Siegel walked out like a big pooner because of some vile descriptions of a Donkey Show. Never the one to let good lemons not be used for lemonade (to throw into Joel Siegel’s eyeballs), Smith hit up his […]

Tuesday, July 18th, 2006On Location Tuesday continues with a look at the Orlando Sentinel. I love Orlando, my little brother Erik was born there, my friends live there and so does Universal Studios Islands of Adventure. If I had to rank those things it would go: 3) Friends 2) Islands of Adventure 1) Islands of Adventure.
Fuck Erik, he […]
When Worlds Collide
Tuesday, July 18th, 2006MBF favorite Reason Magazine has an EIC named Nick Gilespe and for the rest of the week he’s going to be taking over at Wonkette. This is almost too much to bear, a snide libertarian on the site that sets the standard for snide political commentary? My word.
