Monster Cable: Good products, dick company

I have never once questioned the quality of a Monster Cable cable.  The cables and power products are top notch. They have never failed me and I’ve used their products for years. But I won’t spend any money supporting the company anymore. It’s a shame too, ’cause I really trust the products, but I refuse to support the company with my hard earned cash. That’s who I am. I simply cannot support a company that constantly sues the little guy and hustles overpriced digital cables that offer little more...

The Blog Is Becoming Mightier Than The Pen

A watershed media moment occurred yesterday in Chicago. No, it was not the coverage of Ted Lilly's opening day brilliance. It was the launch of ESPN's "local" experiment - http://www.espnchicago.com/ . On the historical timeline of the media transition era, this date gets its very own call-out on the timeline.
