“Clinton offered a grim take on mainstream media when asked by VeriSign CEO Mark McLaughlin about his favorite websites. In response, he ticked off several political sites, including Politico, The Daily Beast and Huffington Post, as well as a few ‘right wing ones’ to get both sides of the political debate. But Clinton said that many of the political sites ‘don’t have to do what a newspaper does every day,’ which is why he is ‘really worried about our ability to maintain any newspapers’ or anything that ‘serves as a standard of objectivity,'” Thibodeau reports. “‘It’s almost impossible given the economics of the modern world for newspapers to continue…,’ said Clinton.”
Thibodeau reports, “Asked by VeriSign CEO Mark McLaughlin what his favourite device is, Clinton named the iPhone, ‘because I can get so much stuff on it.'”

Oh boy, can’t wait to see how many pages of posts this article gets!!
Right,
Like no one was going to mention that his favorite device was a Lewinsky. “Get a lot of stuff on it…”
I’ll give him another term!
‘because I can get so much stuff on it.”
Hmmm
Commie in the White House.
There you go. That should do the trick.
“Because I can get so much stuff on it…
…like Penthouse.com, Hustler.com, and the same stuff I got on Monica’s dress – and elsewhere, if ya catch my drift!” (chuckles, then bites lip).”
Nothing like baiting the political whacks. Thanks MDN!
That I’d rather have Clinton in office today than the unprepared empty suit we’re stuck with for the next 1040 days, 13 hours, 15 minutes, and 55 seconds, proves that absolutely anything is possible (except wanting Carter back).
Wings2Sky – I’ve got my popcorn and drink and am ready for the show to begin.
Peace.
Why do you idiots get into politics…. Why not stick to the Mac News… That’s what this site is aboutbyou idiots.
There’s a ho for that.
As far as newspapers are concerned, at some (tipping…breaking?) point it will become obvious that good coverage has to be paid for.
The ones that can weather the shakedown and keep a profitable business model may find that they are left in a pretty good position.
They will need to become more online and closer to a TV newscast with links, or the TV newscast will jump in that boat and do more online print stories. Either way, I don’t think that news gathering will become a thing of the past, just the way it is distributed. However, if the current papers are not quicker to change, then someone else will move in and take their territory.

In related news, Venezuela president Hugo Chávez launched the Vergatorio phone in May 2009. Vergatorio means penis. I’m not joking.
Bill Clinton will be the first in line for the Vergatorio phone…
@Blast.. do they have a bent model?
@ Towertone…. uhhhhhh what?
Don’t you all think it’s just surreal that MDN is running a “BLOW-OUT SPECIAL” ad right next to an article on Clinton?
{perverted bevis and butthead laugh… heh heh, heh heh heh}
The iPhone does NOT suck…..but Lewinsky did, it seems.
I almost wish I hadnt posted this…….
I thought it was a cigar.
Mr. Clinton is right. As an example, the only technology journalists you can truly rely on for fair objectivity is “Thurrott, Enderle or Dvorak”. These three are the bastion of tech journalistic integrity.
Naa… Lurker_PC & Wings2Sky
From 11:28 for the first post and 1:22 to the latest and we’re still on the first MDN page.
This story isn’t going anywhere fast!
Put away the drinks and pop corn and get back to work!

“Why do you idiots get into politics…. Why not stick to the Mac News(?)”
Because this stuff gets hits.
It was smart and appropriate for MDN NOT to offer an opinion.
As for the newspaper I work for (I’m a photographer, not a writer) we will survive, and so will our online content if I can get them to break their addiction to flash.
Of course he has an iPhone, Steve Jobs supported him. To you right wing guys: hmm.. Steve Jobs is a democrat, once even thought about becoming a candidate – and he produces in communist-China – why do you buy his communist computers? If the liberals are so evil, why do you use their computer system?!
@ FXQ
I guess all computers are communist, so are TVs and most clothes.
