Well I’ll Be…

Okay, let’s clear up this misconception. “Old media” is never really going to die, it’s never really going to completely go away or be overtaken by younger viral rivals. So is today’s Post story about BM companies Time Warner, Comcast, Fox Interactive and Viacom being in the top 10 for November page views a surprise? Not really, why shouldn’t they be. They have properties outside the web that command million upon millions of eyeballs, if they can give them even a pedestrian reason to find something more on the website they should be dominating.
On to something else…
Is Nicole Richie hot in this DUI mugshot or what? I am not trying to be boorish here, but that is some “come hither” stare. Man, there is no news today.
