Some people really think you should buy an iPad. Others really think you shouldn't. Some people think it will save magazines. Others think it will not. We would like to point out that it's just a computer.

In your beautiful Thursday media column: Keith Olbermann takes back a joke, a hedge fund withdraws from the NYT, price wars from the WSJ, and Bill O'Reilly has a little advice for ya, kid.

This is the worst David Broder column ever written, and it is also identical to all other David Broder columns. That is the Broder Paradox! I will reprint it for you, after the jump.

In your untrustworthy Wednesday media column: College journalists prepare for a wild April Fools, Alexander Lebedev's not in it for the money, Wonkette loses a writer, and layoffs hit USNWR.

In your soggy Tuesday media column: debating the Hot List, photographers are in trouble, Martha Stewart's voracious appetite is coming to peer into your household, and alt-weeklies are back in style.

In your malevolent Monday media column: another round of layoffs hits the AP, refereeing Henry Blodget vs. Felix Salmon, Starbucks liberals in bed with Roger Ailes, and Gerald Boyd's kind of sad memoir.

A shrinking pool of journalists may mean the death of J-schools. Good. Fusty academia, pointless courses on 'new media' and endless essay-masturbation over ethics is pointless anyway.

In your copacetic Thursday media column: a Russian tycoon buys a British paper, a new NYT White House correspondent, John Carney is let go, and newspapers in general had the worst year everrrrrrr last year.

In your vengeful Wednesday media column: Albany justice does not save the media, a physically attractive journalist is found in India, Nightline is old, and the WSJ plans to cover this whole "god damn Mets" business.

Today in "obsessively tracking staff changes at the New York Times:" Deputy editor opening, suckas!

In your tendentious Tuesday media column: W magazine names its new editor, The Onion gets a TV show, haters be hating on Christiane Amanpour, and a win for Brian Tierney, newspaper champion.

In your munificent Monday media column: W's new editor selection appears to be at hand, Howie Kurtz writes something decent, a WSJ prediction comes (roughly) true, and low morale at ABC News.

For those obsessively tracking the distribution of beats at the New York Times, this memo went out this morning:

New York Times crown prince A "to the" G Sulzberger has triumphed in his most demeaning test thus far: writing an entire story about bathroom breaks. You don't have to take this, AG! Put those editors in their place! [Previously]

In your finally Friday media column: wacko wants to buy newspaper from some other wackos who are too wack to sell, Christiane Amanpour has a new job, a WSJ wage freeze, and Jon Friedman is a literary Tiger.

In your laughable Thursday media column: Roger Ailes calls for unity, Brandon Holley lives the lonely life online, W's editor is leaving, and so are some editors at Harper's.

NYT editor Bill Keller sent out this staff memo about the departure of political writer Adam Nagourney, who's leaving DC for the West Coast. It takes three writers to replace him:

In your energizing Wednesday media column: ad spending is rising towards an inevitable deadly explosion, Yahoo hires some good writers, AOL enters the food blog wars, and a Cleveland reporter is a wanted man.

The only way the New York Times can escape the clutches of a Mexican billionaire is by successfully instituting a paywall. Who has it chosen to manage this treacherous path? The publisher's nephew. He used to run a DJ school.

In your bulleted Tuesday media column: the TV industry is mean to women, Jeff Goldberg escapes the PLO, Justin Rocket Silverman's new job, and Rupert Murdoch loses hundreds of millions, haha.
