Thursday, August 27, 2009 Slow News Day, Or Are We Totally Fucked? ![]() About to close up shop for on this Thursday here at work and happened to check out WSJ.com to see if there was anything I needed to know before heading home. Umm.... apparently not. I know it's still technically summer and everyone downtown wants to get a 24 hour head start on the Hamptons' weekend traffic and all, but seriously, WHAT THE FUCK? COUNTING CROWS?!?! I know that Rupert Murdoch is hellbent on slowly mainstreaming the Journal from insular bizpaper to everyman freedom rag, but SERIOUSLY?? A COUNTING CROWS LIVE IN-SESSION ON THE WSJ FRONTPAGE?? I am beyond stunned. Try to imagine for a single minute the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Financial Times, CNBC.com, or FoxNews.com shilling news-less crap like this in the lead web-article slot. Even the NY Post reserves this slot for items theoretically construable as news. I can imagine that maybe ABC.com might run a piece like this, but it would at least be an interview with quasi-culturally relevant entities like Bono or the Jonas Brothers (I'm not joking). What the fuck, dudes? Counting Crows?!? Weird.
