Todd Levin on How Conan O'Brien Got Screwed →
thebearwrestler: Todd perfectly captures what it was like to work on the show from beginning to end. I agree. As an example, this is how he starts the piece: “If you’ve ever seen a criminal standing before a firing squad and felt jealous of all the attention he was receiving, then you would have loved writing for Conan O’Brien.”

Washington Post exposé on the national security... →
By Dana Priest and William M. Arkin: The top-secret world the government created in response to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, has become so large, so unwieldy and so secretive that no one knows how much money it costs, how many people it employs, how many programs exist within it or exactly how many agencies do the same work.

In Online Journalism, Burnout Starts Younger →
soupsoup: Such is the state of the media business these days: frantic and fatigued. Young journalists who once dreamed of trotting the globe in pursuit of a story are instead shackled to their computers, where they try to eke out a fresh thought or be first to report even the smallest nugget of news — anything that will impress Google algorithms and draw readers their way. Sigh, the possibilities...

What Would Reagan Really Do?
newsweek: Romano, on the GOP’s Reagan problem: The problem is not that conservatives are searching for lessons in his record. It’s that they’re learning the wrong ones. In the years since Reagan left the White House, a vocal contingent of Republicans has sought to enforce current party orthodoxy—cut taxes at all costs; limit government spending (except defense); let the Bible be your...

Cavs owner's letter mocked for Comic Sans font. →
mar-see-ah: As he should be. Comic Sans should be forbidden. It makes you look amateurish at best, laughable at worst. That’s just my opinion.

Newsweek: Why the Jezebel vs. Daily Show War is... →
We know what it’s like to get called out by Jezebel. When we wrote about institutionalized sexism at our own magazine—and in media in general—we were called out for being non-inclusive. It stung, both cause we liked them, and because they gave us no props whatsoever for sticking our necks out and getting our magazine to publish a story critical of the treatment of women at our own...
