Re-blogger/quasi-journalist Nikki
Finke is at it again. The
Penn Foster Career School drop out yesterday broke Reagan administration-era
news that Jeff Zucker had Conan O'Brien arrested for thieving a shipment of the
Harvard Crimson. This is news to anyone who hasn't read
Vanity Fair on January 13, 2010

Keep up the good work Nikki. Did you know there was a moon landing? You might want to get right on that news.

I believe I first read this tidbit in Bill Carter's 2006 book "Desperate Networks." It's one thing to have your blog scooped by a news publication, another to have it scooped by a hardcover book.
On the other hand, maybe this is why I never wanted to be a journalist-type to begin with.
I like how her news website has now resorted to:
'Hey remember that time?'
In other 'news,' hey remember that time that Nikki Finke won't stop typing "toldja" for like half her friggen blog posts, but she still thinks she's a news reporter and not running a gossip column?
