Flash! Editor Talks to Friedman (Four Days Ago)


Returned His Call!

The World's Worst Media Columnist today features an interview with an editor of Time magazine, Jim Kelly. And boy did they talk. He's not a tight-lipped guy like the big, bad Norm Pearlstine! ("We spoke so much, as a matter of fact, that I was out of breath (and questions) by the time we wrapped up a marathon phone interview," Friedman recounts.)

Only one catch: the interview was four days ago. Guess that explains why there's no mention of Matt Cooper's article on his grand jury testimony, which was on the front page of the New York Times today. Or anything else you didn't read about four days ago.

Mediacrity Question of the Day: Are Jon Friedman's editors as incompetent as he is?
