Lloyd Grove Interview Video Clip

[Muffstser]

Okay, work sucks, because while I do have a PC, I don't have sound!

If anyone wants to play this and reply as to what Mr. Snarky has to say, it'd be great.

Thanks, gang!

1. please stand by....

[gkhouston]

2. this is what they're saying...

What's the state of gossip, (unintelligible), um, today... what are your overall general state about gossip?

That's uh, that's a large question. I think gossip is the future of journalism.

It is?

Forget investigative reporting. Arianna was talking about hiring investigative reporters for Huffington Post.
I think she should invest all her resources into gossip. That's what people want to read. Screw investigative reporting. We don't care.

Uh... but if that's the case, uh, why... why wouldn't you have a blog? Like why isn't The Daily News doing like a gossip blog where you could... where you could conceivably report gossip all day?

Well, I think that's a brilliant idea and, um, I'm gonna to talk to Mr. Zuckerman about that as soon as I leave this party I'm going to call him.

You're serious? You're...

No, I'm not. I'm totally goofy. I think your questions are inappropriately serious after two glasses of wine.

Okay, Well, I've one more.

Okay, fine.

Are you going to leave The Daily News?

Well, eventually, uh, I'm going to leave it, uh, but not anytime in the near future. Certainly I have no plans to.

3. Yeah, forget about investigative reporting

you know, getting your facts straight & checking out sources & stuff. That's all hard werk. :eyes:

I watched that clip too & didn't hear him mention KO at all, but that comment about gossip being the future of journalism got my attention.

4. have mercy. If KO took it into his head to become the sort of

poison pen that Grove his, Grove would have to run home and hide behind Mama's skirts. Think of the way that Keith and Dan joke back and forth. Now imagine them doing it with a purposeful meanness behind it. :scared:

5. Does anyone remember the rumor from earlier this year

that Zuckerman hates Grove's guts and Grove's contract will probably not be renewed in the fall? Meaning he'll probably have to go running off to the Post (which everyone seems to think he works for anyway--I can't even count the number of times people asserted as fact that he works for a "Murdoch-owned paper"?

6. Sounds to me like a couple of drunks at loud sports bar...

having a conversation about nothing in particular.
