I can see (and hear) the executive meeting in the publisher’s office where the print bigs ponder what to do, what to do, now that they have lost forever the bills-and-salaries-paying classifieds to the Net and the alphabets seek a remedy to Fox News.
Ah, ha, they hit upon it! If you can’t beat the Net, then you join the Net, and not with just a blizzard of advertising pop-ups on your snazzy new subscription site where subscriptions are going begging.
No, the brainstorm is more obvious than that (though, granted, snooze media executives have real problems with the obvious). It’s this: which Net product (after the ancestry sites, that is) makes the most money? Okay, after Fox. Exactly. Porn.
Well, you could go for a real merger, but probably not. How would you continue to get all those young PC women journalism school graduates to work for peanuts, for the thrill (down the leg and elsewhere) of helping the Democrat party maintain (and, yea, verily) expand its hold on America?
I’ve got it, yells the new up-and-coming rising exec star. And, lo and behold, the new angle is unveiled on MSNBC, the most blatant of the Democrat-pushing snooze sites: Introducing…. ta-da (or, more appropriately, ta-ta) Krystal Ball.
Krystal Ball. Get it? Sounds like a fifth-tier porn queen with grotesquely-inflated breasts, a MILF with pets, no children, who actually prefers DP? Yeah, okay, so what? That’s the point, ace. It’s the future.
