Fox News, Business Insider, and The Lonely Journey...
So, at this point, people hating Fox News and what it stands for is kind of a given. Which is why I don’t, really. It’s not that I enjoy it, or watch it, or regard them as anything other than part of a much more systemic problem. It’s that any sentient human with a brain can fairly despise them. So why bother? Fox News has generally represented a news-oriented tinnitus for those...

Dominique Strauss-Kahn Is a Free Man →
This morning, in Manhattan Supreme Court, at 11:57 AM, Justice Michael J. Obus had heard enough. All criminal charges against Dominique Strauss-Kahn were ordered to be dropped. While he still faces a civil suit against him in The Bronx and the claims of Tristane Banon in France (to which his lawyers responded with a counter-suit of slander), the former I.M.F. chief’s most heinous criminal charge...

That’s one of the questions I answer in the grand opening of THE BAKE SHOP, my/the new mailbag at Grantland. Other less depressing topics include: snapback hats, being a New York Rangers fan from Prince Edward Island, advice for college freshman, NYT weddings greatest hits, and THE TRUTH about whether or not I drink coffee.
Please read, and please send along any questions for the...

Pitchfork’s interview with ?uestlove is pretty perfect. Take a guess who he’s talking about.
True story: ?uestlove is the only person I’ve ever interviewed to this day to actively shrug-off a flack; at this show two summers ago at Webster Hall, some corporate sponsor clipboard-wielder was trying to rush me through the interview. They had to go on stage in half an hour,...

Former Governor, CNN host, and Non-Black-Sock Wearer Eliot Spitzer and I had a nice talk about how fucked up the world’s dysfunctional relationship with ratings agencies actually is, and if there’s anything we can do about it.

It’s nothing new. As O’Reilly has repeatedly opened his mouth, rappers’ names—50 Cent, Nas, Snoop Dogg, Jay-Z, Kanye West and Lupe Fiasco—have somehow made their way in. He called Young Jeezy’s “My President is Black” offensive; Eminem, “vile.” O’Reilly has tried to get rappers kicked off of college campuses and corporate gigs and suggested that Snoop be deported. (This was...
