How should I put this?

QUIT GIVING AWAY THE SHOP!!!!!

Google has no moral responsibility for newspapers
Posted by Bradley Fikes 11/5/2009 9:58:25 AM

Google sends traffic to newspaper Web sites, it's up to the newspapers to figure out what to do with it.

Even the Wall Street Journal, which has a paywall for much of its content, deliberately lets articles be viewed for free if they're found through Google.

Google should stop coddling the brain-dead and laughable whiners and hypocrites who head most news organizations.

Journalism and the public will be better off when these clueless relics of a dead monopoly era have been put out to pasture.


early or too late?
Posted by Nan Connolly 11/5/2009 8:59:56 AM

Top Google executives are closely hewing to pre-planned talking points: to wit, "it's early." Marissa M. rolled that one past the U.S. Senate subcommittee hearing a few months back.
Now the 'early' meme is stated again, in reference to better payment systems for news sources that Google mines essentially for free.
Early? With newsroom headcount down to 1960s levels? The implosion is audible.
If now is too early to better align payment to provider, when will that date arrive? The mind reels at the dismissive arrogance of this brushoff.
