If by chance you wanted to O.D. on multimedia Ed, you were certainly in luck last week, when I really made the rounds. via Webcam, I dropped by Tony Katz’s PJTV show to discuss WikiLeaks and the NFL. (No I’m not sure how we segued between topics that diverse, either) Though audio-only, I was also on Jimmie’s Bise weekly podcast for an hour-long chat along with my partner in crime on Sirius-XM, Steve Green. And speaking of which, the last two PJM Politicals are now online, one of which features my interviews with Roger Kimball, James Lileks, Rob Long Michael Walsh. (Much shorter video versions are also online.)
The unedited version of my interview with William McGowan, taken from this past weekend’s edition of PJM Political on Sirius-XM’s POTUS channel is now online. McGowan’s new book, Gray Lady Down: What the Decline and Fall of The New York Times Means for America is due out today. But if you’re waiting for the FedEx truck or the Kindle download to get yours, don’t miss my conversation with McGowan to get a sense of how Pinch Sulzberger made hash of his family’s most important asset. (And thus created a huge opening for alternative media, just to tie this item in with the previous post.)

For more from Blog World, check out the latest edition of PJM Political, which features more from representatives of the Learning Channel on Sarah Palin’s Alaska, plus my interviews with Hugh Hewitt, and Rick Calvert, the CEO and founder of BlogWorld.
And for 60 or so previous editions of Silicon Graffiti, just click here and keep scrolling and watching.
From my perspective, Blog World 2010, #BWE10 for those on Twitter, is shaping up rather nicely, to paraphrase a veteran agent (like myself) in the British Secret Service:
Hugh Hewitt, whose radio show I appeared on earlier today during a segment recorded at Blog World, looks like he agrees:
The girls were here to promote The Palms Casino; not surprisingly, this was a rather successful promotion, considering how many stopped by to meet, greet, and be photographed with the bunnies.
Watch for more from Blog World, including my interview with Hugh for PJM Political, coming next week.
Well maybe not everything, but as W. Joseph Campbell recently discussed in a new podcast over at PJM HQ, if you rely on the MSM’s interpretation of history as your own, you’d have quite a skewed view of events. Campbell, a veteran former AP reporter turned communications professor is the author of Getting It Wrong: Ten of the Greatest Misreported Stories in American Journalism, and as he notes during the interview, the MSM and its enablers have quite a predilection towards making itself the focus of news, and encouraging sweeping myths about their power to shape events.
It’s an engaging 17-minute long interview, and if you haven’t already followed the links above, Campbell’s blog, Media Myth Alert, filled with meaty posts on topics both in his book and beyond is all well worth your time.
The interview aired (in edited form) on Saturday’s PJM Political on Sirius-XM’s POTUS channel, which is also online here.
