Media Memos

So, you've had a tough week at work. Buckets of Advil consumed. Soul-deadening meetings. Urge to crawl under desk or lock self in bathroom. Sound familiar? Chances are your week hasn't been as bad as the one folks at the Tribune are having. They've had two incidents of misidentifying people as mobsters on the front page, and now one of the wronged citizens is suing the paper for $2 million. Now that's an expensive mistake.

Meanwhile, elsewhere in media, much is being speculated about the recently announced group blog touted by Ariana Huffington. It is supposedly going to be called the "Huffington Report" although I am lobbying for "Huffblog" unless that name is already taken. What will the HR Huffenstuff blog actually be like? Who knows, but the ever-hilarious Tim Dowling at the Guardian has an idea.

Does anyone know how to get red wine stains out of a wool carpet? posted by NORMAN MAILER on Mon May 9 at 10:14 PDT
I'm screwed if my wife sees this. I'm not even supposed to drink in that room. I've been scrubbing but that just seems to spread the stain around. A quick answer would be most appreciated.

Silly, everyone knows it's salt and club soda...

The problem with HuffBlog is that Andrew "me3dia.com" would have grounds for a share of the profits....

That's if Huffington can get this past "stage 1: get underpants....."
