Remember: the ratings system is a voluntary infringement of First Amendment rights, an uneasy bargain between the needs of parents, the needs of artists, and the needs of large media corporations to make profits. Any time we chip away at the First Amendment, we should at least do it with some reverence. Marshall Herskovitz amendmentartistbargain share on social
Even the most brilliant accomplishments on the Internet are essentially cold. Google has changed the world, but you don't snuggle up to it.

Hollywood is the perfect conduit for the urgent message about climate change. We raise awareness all the time.

It's interesting: I went 25 years without watching a single television show.

OK, I have to admit that I go on TheSuperficial.com. That guy is so funny, he's just so funny... you know, I'm a news junkie, so I regularly flip between HuffingtonPost.com, CNN.com, and a site that's called MyWay.com, which shows me six different news feeds. And I go on DrudgeReport.com about once a day. Marshall Herskovitz admitcallcnn share on social
Our founding fathers could not have foreseen that freedom of the press might eventually be threatened just as much by media consolidation as by government. Marshall Herskovitz consolidationeventuallyfather Change image and share on social
