    In retrospect, the Posties should have been worried when they started giving away free copies of the Post with the Journal. If your parent company decides you are worth zero, that's when trouble starts. #newyorkpost

    Someone sent me this on Saturday! I felt super privileged and insidery. And I think the best part about the video is the fact that everyone but one guy just keeps on moving as if nothing had happened (and a few even snicker at the smashee).

    Business Class to Switzerland? Oh, the humanity! As someone who spent years flying coach in and out of Cincinatti and Indianapolis may I hear them cry me a river? And not the "good" coach, either. The seats in the back, next to bathroom and galley, that don't recline. #media

    @raincoaster: I honestly don't know why they had to fly them anywhere. Couldn't they have written about the seats on the ground? Set up an extra one in your New York office and reporters can come by and see it. My point is only that, if you are going to fly a bunch of journalists to Switzerland so they can experience these wonderful new seats, it makes no sense to not let them sit in the seats. #media

    Hell, you want a real voice of opposition, you need a loud-assed, smart-mouthed left-wing rag -- and I mean a real left-wing rag, not like Mother Jones. (spit) I mean, c'mon; if you really think the New York Times is a Leftie paper, you've been living under a rock, like those goddamn' Tea Party assholes.

    Seriously, all we've got is The Nation. That goddamn' self-serious tome bores the living piss out of me. And they don't even have a friggin' sports page, f'cripesake. I'd love a Leftie version of the New York Post. They're a nasty, rightist screed, for sure, but I love their attitude.

    Didn't you all used to have a nice, loud, smartassed Leftie tabloid up there, long ago -- what was it called, PM, or something? #newyorkpost

    The Iranian "revolution"?

    Oh, y'mean that National Endowment For Democracy-backed astroturf campaign? The one where some British company shipped in thousands of little portable digital cameras so that we could see all those "viral" videos of what was happening in the streets?

    What color was that one, anyway? Green, or something? #iran

    Though the charges have since been dropped, but if an American can be arrested for twittering a "revolution", then our government can't really condemn others for cracking down on those in the field.

    @Pope John Peeps II: Agreed, but when I first heard of the Madison fellow's arrest, I immediately thought of the shot to our credibility, if we were to condemn other governments for making similar arrests.

    It's sort of like when the Bush-era waterboarding story was confirmed. It wasn't even days until comparisons were made to WWII-era convictions for war crimes.

    Sure, the charges against Mr. Madison have been dropped, but if we want to be able to encourage social networking as a means to organize, then we can't be arresting people for doing the same thing. #iran

    Interesting. But numbers alone arent the only issue. In terms of organizing, sometimes it is just as important to have the "influencers"-- ie, those people who can round up their friends/family/coworkers etc. -- in touch with each other. If twitter helped these "influencers" gain a sense of momentum and round people up, it served a far-reaching purpose.

    @calwilson37001: Right. I'm very confused about the point of this post. A small number of twittering activists helped "foment" the protests that were seen and heard around the world against a despotic regime that could use a lot more of that kind of internal pressure, and that's...bad? Because there aren't a lot of people online in Iran itself? #iran

    In reply to The Day the Investigative Reporting Came In
    Well, the editorial agenda here has been crystal clear from the get-go (i.e., "scapegoating").

    I have no idea what's going on with this story because: (a) most news outlets have released information that has turned out to be utterly, painfully wrong, and (b) the rest (like Gawker) are pursuing a pro/anti-discrimination agenda.

    By the time any truth is uncovered, you will all have lost interest...so as usual, the readers remain uninformed. #media
