Another NIKKI FINKE blasts the moguls.
Problem is, there will always be media moguls. There were moguls in the theater and vaudeville. Thomas Edison was the first electronic entertainment mogul. He was followed by
Carl Laemmle, the anti-mogul who became a mogul. He was followed by the immigrants, who in turn were followed by the current generation of slime. Already
KING BRIAN has assumed his own cushy velvet throne. Nick Denton wants to be Mr. Webmogul. No, there will always be media moguls, and their product will always be BAD.
Or as IMDB.com says of Laemmle:
[H]is output consisted mostly of low-budget westerns and melodramas, churned out in a process designed to resemble a factory.
The more things change....
