Facebook PR: Tonight We Dine In Hell

It seems like this is a war whose outcome rest solely in the minds of the readers.

This reminds me too much about Henry Kissinger's comment on the Iran-Iraq war of the 1980s: "Pity they can't both lose." Leaving out the issue of the particular companies and personalities mentioned here, there seems to be considerable suspicion that journalism has deep problems, especially when reporting on the economics or technology base of high-tech companies, and meanwhile the blurring definition of what "journalism" is seems to make it easier than ever for public relations personnel to manipulate the story lines the public reads. Maybe there needs to be some other outcome for this war than one of the two sides identified in the submitted article winning the war.

The war over the internet is intensifying. Now, why should you care? Do you think Google is going to "not be evil" for the rest of eternity? You're already seeing politicians going down for doing stupid things...the global elite fears the power of the internet, as well they should.

The internet will know what you are thinking, and it will use that against you. At some point, a tipping point, those who control the internet will be able to control the rest of society.

The internet can survive a nuclear war. Whoever controls the internet will control the future.

I couldn't help but notice the irony of TC's "Tonight We Dine in Hell" (which you just knew was an MG Siegler post before clicking through) right below the "AOL Hell" link.

MG is one of the stars of the "AOL Way" but at least in this case and with the Project Spartan break, he's committed some real and quality journalism.

How can you possibly be surprised by a company PR-spinning things that make them look weak?
