In your maddened Monday media column: fewer reporters are on the news-free White House travel beat, John Stossel demands unpaid interns, George Rush may take a buyout, and a Channel 13 employee's epic email on his way out the door.

Last month we introduced you to The (Potential) Intern From Hell, a young gent with some very tough words for a company at which he applied to intern. Well, he saw the piece on Gawker. And was not amused.

If there's one thing we've learned about CEOs recently, it's that some of them will reply if you send them an email. Tech blogger Robert Scoble emailed Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Sunday—and guess what? Zuck wrote back.

Last Friday, professional media beef-starter Michael Wolff called Newsweek's Jonathan Alter "the most pompous man in American journalism." Today, Wolff's column dismissively cited Alter's new book about Barack Obama. This confluence of Wolff-isms sent Jonathan Alter over the edge.

I didn't plan to pick a fight with Steve Jobs last night. It just sort of happened: An iPad advertisement ticked me off; I sent the Apple CEO an angry email; he told me about "freedom from porn."

Today we looked at kooky Stephanie Grace, the Harvard Law Email Racist. All of you were mad about it! Some of you at her, some of you at us. Let's take a look at some of the latter group.

The following email was sent out to the Columbia Journalism School new media alumni email list today. We post it not to mock the unfortunate sender, but rather to gently question just how well they're teaching "new media," over there.

Bless The Smoking Gun for finding the emails sent to the FCC after Adam Lambert gay glitter-splooged all over the American Music Awards' face. People were so mad! And obscene! And worried about the kids! Here are our faves.

It's a Christmas miracle: a tipster has forwarded us a historic May, 2007 internal staff email from our favorite public relations powerhouse, 5WPR. It seems someone (ladies) could not keep the poop flushed and the tampons put away properly.

Climate change is real and man-made. Period, end of story. But recently, some emails have leaked that conclusively prove that climate scientists... are really pissed off that a well-funded industry exists that subverts and denies their work.

Nancy Cartwright is the voice of Bart Simpson. She is also a famous Scientologist. She is also selling her son's bedroom furniture for $500. Need some shelves?

Any mass email with the subject line "Jews" is going to be trouble. That is an ironclad rule. So Dan Baum, the famously former New Yorker writer, should've maybe rethought this one.

Nothing is more anti-American than telling children to stay in school, which is why Mr. T was arrested for espionage in 1984. President Obama, though, thinks he's above the law, so parents are boycotting his upcoming address to schools.

During the McCain campaign, Roveian media strategist Steve Schmidt proved that he was a shitty Roveian media strategist. He was also responsible for the Palin pick. But he quickly grew to regret that.

Liz Becton, a scheduler for a congressman (a lowly Representative, too!) recently became famous for hating it when you call her Liz. It turns out that she is basically the single worst monster in all of DC.

Oh, hey, random Republican officials continue to forward insanely racist emails about Barack Obama. This one is about how funny it is that the president's skin is dark. But there is a very good excuse for it!

Last month, San Franciscan literary figure Dave Eggers promised to personally email anyone who feared that print is dead, and cheer them up. He's done it! Here's your full Dave Eggers 'Print Lives' Reassurance Email:

Hipster Grifter Kari Ferrell sounds really clever until you notice she just re-used a few key lines over and over, via email. Uh, outrage! New email evidence concerns her imaginary beard-based coffee table book:

Ever wish you could read through Salma Hayek's email? You can. Some hackers gained access to her account—her email address was shayek@mac.com—and saved screenshots of what they found. Enjoy. Or don't, and chalk it up to further evidence the Internet is rapidly destroying civilization as we know it. [Gawker]
