King Of Journalism Will Crush Starbucks Propaganda!
We find it endlessly amusing that mild-mannered Jim Romenesko, who runs the most feared blog in journalism (except this one), puts an equal amount of passion into "Starbucks Gossip," his other blog that is, for some reason, the preeminent inside news site for the coffee chain. And he's not too happy about the company's corporatized attempt to move in on his territory with its new, half-bright "MyStarbucksIdea.com" site. Romenesko is throwing down in public! More »

ABC Totally Pissed At Alessandra Stanley
A letter to Romenesko, sent to us as well, by ABC News Senior Vice President Jeffrey W. Schneider begins: "There are glaring errors in Alessandra Stanley's column today." At this point there's little more to do than shrug one's shoulders and mutter the Hebrew from the Passover question. We're not sure how something like this could have happened! More »
Anna Nicole Smith: Too Soon?
Give the girl credit: She didn't care what she put in her mouth while she was in this world and she went out of it the same way.

Jim Romenesko's Condo Puts You One Step Closer to Glory
Though you might not know it from the fabulous decor and the classy cock artwork, but you are looking at the condo of a blogger. It's not just any blogger, though — this condo belongs to MEDIA BLOG LEGEND JIM ROMENESKO, and it could be yours, all yours. As posted on his other blog, Romenesko is selling his 1-br condo in Evanston, IL; the asking price for this den of sin is a cool $229,000, but that gets you access to the building's pool and health club (nothing feels better than pounding the treadmill after a rough day of updating the sidebar).

Media Bubble: Kids and Media, Part 8 Million of a Series
• Young people like iPods, social networking, the internet. Reading newspapers? Not so much. You're shocked, right? Who keeps putting up the money to fund these studies? [Guardian]• Wait, young people! If you promise to watch the news, Brian Williams will read your e-mails and Katie Couric will blog for you! Not curmudgeonly uncle Charlie Gibson, though. He just wants you to sit down, shut up, and listen to what he's saying. [NYP]
• We would pay good money to see a bare-knuckle fight between Bill Cosby and Len Downie. Seriously. [Romenesko]

This Weekend in Ombudsing: Free Speech vs. Religious Sensitivity vs. Barney
Jim Romenesko provides a nice roundup today of how most of the nation's newspaper ombudsmen weighed in on the major media-ethics question of whether papers should stand up for free-speech rights and publish the Danish Mohammed cartoons that have sparked worldwide protests or respect religious sensitivities and refrain from publishing them. Some of the dozen columns highlighted included: More »
