Kurtz, Wash Post: Rush's ratings bump real (12+)

[Sid Schweiger]

>>In defense of my former colleague (and now competitor) Tom Taylor, the 
news section he runs on the front page of R-I is top notch. If he says 
it, it's true - and on the very rare occasions when he's wrong, he 
doesn't hesitate to say so and correct himself.

The problem he has at Radio-Info is that everyone still thinks of the 
site for its message boards, which are indeed a sewer of misinformation, 
ignorance and outright malice. (Except, of course, for my own posts 
there... :-)<<

Absolutely no disagreement there.  Laurence was quoting something posted on the message boards, and that was the target of my comments.

>>If I were running Radio-Info, I'd have launched Tom's daily newsletter, 
and the other original content they're trying to do there, under some 
completely different brand name so it would never be associated with the 
message boards. Good thing they didn't ask me for my advice...<<

No, bad thing.  They should have asked you...unless the definition of "information" changed while we weren't paying attention...
