shaw has to be one of the most overpaid, useless people in the media.
i read his stuff for over a decade--boring, uncreative.
you leave wondering why someone would pay him to write such drivel.
I agree. My point in a post on another thread is the media isn't a customer-driven business. It treats people who consume their product with a degree of contempt and disdain intolerable in any other business. For a long time, due to the absence of a viable alternative, the public had to put up with the likes of non-entities such David Shaw and Eric Slater. No longer. The rise of FOX NEWS CHANNEL and Internet blogs have changed everything. And what it means is either the media will change how it deals with readers, listeners and viewers or it will die. When people DO have alternatives, let's face it, the old ways of doing business are no longer good enough. Not even for the David Shaws of the world.
