    It's hilarious to see Bill Keller and Perez Hilton in the same category.

    Still think Jeanne Moos is awesome, wish she was higher in the list of tv reporters.

    You're not on it, and neither am I. I feel like we lived through the first invasion of Austria.

    Cajun Boy, I can only assume that you have never worked in the New York art gallery world. I see your self important a-holes and raise you 6,000 anorexic, alcoholic, black-clad medusas (medusi?) of both sexes, give or take a thousand once Larry Gagosian gets done killing and eating what remains of his staff.

    I was always wondering: why US-ians are so obsessed about one-dimensional linear numerical orderings? No other culture that I'm aware of spends so much time compiling and discussing linearly ordered rankings.


    Lattices FTW!

    @contains_hot_liquid: The terseness of your reply tells me that you weren't successfull in your personal struggle with abstraholism.

    I am now a connoisseur of brevity.


    No it's funny you say that; I had a longer response written, but somehow in the midst of typing I closed the comment window. Heh.

    It's like the "tumblrity" index on Tumblr: The more they suck up to other people and repeat their ideas, the higher their ranking goes.

    Bill O'Reilly is ranked higher on the "Power Grid" than Ann Curry. An unabashed racist and intolerant ratings-grabber with an incredibly dangerous view of the world around him, ranked higher than Ann Curry.


    Yes, this thing is busted.

    @croush1211: This is the sort of thing that pisses me off about the media in general and web 2.0 specifically: the conflation of the popular with the good. Just because a lot of people are watching Bill O'Reilly, it doesn't make him worth listening to. Why can't mediaite supply the context in which these ratings occur? Oh, because that would take effort, and passion, and would likely render all of the rankings as ridiculous as the ones you pointed out.


    "Buzz" is just the sound of the flies circling the cooling corpse of traditional media.
