Re-Podcast :: The News about the News: Jay Rosen

Play the mp3

From Christopher Lydon's Open Source Radio, a history and analysis of new and old media by one of my media heroes, Jay Rosen, including an important meditation on the nature of objectivity and why objectivity became important to news.

Plenty of food for thought in this podcast.

Thanks, Mr. Lydon and Mr. Rosen. Well done.

Faux Obama Ad :: The Media Nipple Way

Play Quicktime Version

The first faux grass-roots, guerilla dirty political tricks stunt to strike the public's fancy in a hit-and-run popularity crash has come and gone.

My friend the cultural farmer made a sweet mashup of the subject Apple and faux Obama.com commercials side by side. Interesting to compare the two.

Found both message and motive strange. What did this fellow Phil hope to accomplish?

Politics & dirty tricks are easy on the Internet. But dangerous; and the individual who thinks anonymity more than two layers thick in the digital playspace is sadly mistaken.

Note that Philip deVellis used to have videos up at Blip.tv. All gone now.

Could Apple sue de Vellis for copyright infringement? Would they? Naw.

Damnably good piracy, that.
