The Last Word
Did a little slot on The Last Word tonight. On why women would prefer to be slim rather than clever. Click here and the click on the show for Friday 10th 5pm-6pm, then fast forward to 49 minutes. It’ll be there for the next 7 days. Hurry! hurry!
It’ll be a busy weekend. I’m on Marian Finucane (RTE1) sometime between 11.30 and 1 talking about Desperate Housewives and why its crap (and why loads of men are watching it). And then Media Matters on Newstalk at 12.30 on Sunday talking about the Blog Awards.

Oh, that’s easy. Men are scum, I read it in Cosmo.

I felt Roger Greene kept emphasising the negatives and didn’t try and point out the positives that can be associated with blogging. Well done for trying to combat this Sarah.

Hi Colm, yeah, he really overdid it, didn’t he? The libel issue is a fair one to address, but bloody hell, move on. It just shows you how defensive mainstream journalists are about blogging. When the fact is that people wouldn’t read blogs if they were getting enough out of their newspapers. I thought he could have addressed the impact on careers (good and bad). People got hired (like me) and fired, like others over their blogs. At least Damien was able to get in some info on companies trying to piggy back on blogging. That was interesting.

But he’s right about the problem posed. It’s only a matter of time before we get the first libel case (whether justified or not).
