Say, that was some Jerkathon Tom Ashbrook hosted this morning on WBUR’s On Point. It featured the parasitic Michael Wolff of Newser, the insufferable Jeff Javis of Buzz Machine, and the intractable Stephen Brill of Journalism Online.
Listener discretion is advised.

Wow – a post filled with nothing but name-calling. And links. At least you gave some links.
You blockhead.
Hah! Who’s name-calling now?
Not name-calling, just quoting Dr. Johnson! 🙂
(Or do you get paid for this stuff?)
Really, Steve – who in their right mind would pay for this stuff?
The name calling was pretty appropriate considering the quality of that show. I had never heard On Point degenerate into something as pointless as AM talk radio before but it almost did that today. It’s too bad as it’s a pretty interesting topic. Dan Kennedy would have been a nice choice to be in on that discussion.
I was just listening to the re-broadcast and had to turn it off at the half-hour point. Michael Wolff was acting like an absolute @ssh0le. It was completely painful to listen to. I need to take a shower.
The other two guys — Jarvis and Brill — were polite, by the way, even if you don’t agree with what they have to say.
