    Fascinating -- my comment about Nikki Finke and Wikipedia achieved "entry" status at ChubbyBrain.com:

    She's too busy shilling for the lunatic fringe at SAG (now no longer in charge of the asylum) to bother with recent photos. Or accuracy.

    OK... but if this stunt goes awry and she DOES show up here to comment, will you at least promise to un-star her if she ever uses the psuedo-word "TOLJA" in all caps?

    Online Variety just went subscription this past week. It's already a meaningless statistic.

    So Nikki Finke sucks the fun out of everything too? Byhoff, I'm beginning to see how this works. It's a form of autism.

    That's it.

    Stakeout. TONIGHT. I'll bring the binoculars, rope, and captive bolt pistol.

    When I heard the news, I knew I was going to get the second TOLDJA email from Ms. Finke and I certainly did. Her information could be digested better if it wasn't written in a way that makes me think she believes she is curing cancer, when she's essentially involved in "The Player", w/out that whole murder.

    "Her voice grows thick with emotion" is the "It was a dark and stormy night" of transcript reporting.

    John, do you think the Chicago Tribune would link to a blogger if they transcribed comments before they did. I seriously doubt it. The MSM does not follow the same rules bloggers have created for themselves, why should bloggers show them the courtesy that they don't show bloggers?

    @Anthony De Rosa: BTW, I realize Finke doesn't follow basic blogging etiquette herself, my comment was more about the Chicago Tribune than about Finke.

    @Anthony De Rosa: Because it's the right thing to do? Also, it's not just about courtesy--it's about transparency and not passing off another's work as your own.

    @John Cook: The MSM does not show courtesy to bloggers, bloggers are much better at attribution than MSM is, when it comes to giving proper attribution to blogs.

    It's a HUGE deal when a blog doesn't attribute something by a MSM outlet, but rarely is it pointed out when a MSM outlet fails to give credit to a blogger, which is the norm rather than the exception.

    I agree with you, it IS the right thing to do, it IS about transparency, and it IS about not passing off another's work as your own, three things that MSM often forgets when it comes to attribution for work they got through bloggers.

    So is that "thousand bucks for a Nikki Finke picture" thing still going? I can't believe nobody ever won that.

    She loathes the idea of linking other bloggers. LOATHES it. She's the ultimate Darwinian blogger that way - in spite of her undoubtedly having benefited on more than one occasion from links from the likes of Matt Drudge.
