FIRST. 1) no shit! i know i quit watching hockey because a small percentage very, very, very small sample size doesn’t watch it. i know, unless the nba makes drastic changes (which it won’t) i will never watch it even if it got a 50 share.

2) yes and no. yes, kill the FAKE argument model. a civil discussion on issues is healthy if not interesting. but scripted, screaming arguments over the same six tired subjects each day is beyond overkill.

3) sort of. just because youtube is popular doesn’t mean it’s great. just look at all the shit cell phone video on there. just because anyone can start a blog doesn’t mean it’s a good read. quanity doesn’t equal quality.

4) a-freaking-men. get it right. FIRST.
