Stewart redux
: CNET writes about Jon Stewart and CNN and quotes this very blog on why CNN should have put the clip out there for all to see and send along. (It’s funny seeing a quote written in blogspeak puilled out in a news story; it looks like a kid in jeans at the prom.)
I’ll be on Brian Lehrer’s show on WNYC this morning at 11 on the same topic. I hope to tell NPR that they should be cutting up all their shows into bit to allow the audience to distribute them (with sponsor underwriter messages and begging pledge pitches attached). Viral, audience, BitTorrent/RSS distribution of their programming would explode the audience for NPR — and be damned convenient for their fans. NPR should fuel podcasting. At this point, most NPR affiliates won’t allow most NPR programming even onto satellite. But WNYC could lead the way with its best show, Lehrer’s.
: Oh, my, the CNET quotes look even nicer under a New York Times logo.
